Real Madrid have reportedly accepted defeat in offloading outcast Gareth Bale in the summer transfer window. Gareth Bale earns a reported £600,000 a week before tax, leaving him with around £350,000 net earnings every week and his wages make it unlikely that any club will look to bid for the Real Madrid star forward. Bale's contract runs out in 2022 and the Welshman is reportedly set to exact a £60m revenge on the recently-crowned LaLiga champions.

Real Madrid transfer news: Gareth Bale transfer news
Gareth Bale has cut quite an unpopular figure among the Real Madrid faithful and appears to be increasingly fed up with his position on the bench. During the final stages of the La Liga season, Gareth Bale's antics - including pretending to fall asleep during a game - have angered many Real Madrid supporters. When Real Madrid celebrated their LaLiga triumph, Bale cut an awkward figure and stayed away from most of the celebrations.
Bale was also left out of the Real Madrid squad completely for the final game of the season. Reports also state that Bale's relationship with manager Zinedine Zidane has deteriorated and is now past the point of no return, leading fans to believe that the 31-year-old will not be part of the Frenchman's plans in the future. However, offloading Gareth Bale is now a difficult task for Real Madrid with the forward still having two years remaining on his current deal at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Bale's agent, Jonathan Barnett, spoke to BBC Sport last week and said: "Gareth is fine, he's got two years left on his contract and going nowhere, he likes living in Madrid."
