The Welsh winger has had a great Real Madrid career but Zinedine Zidane is not quite an admirer. Bale has found game time increasingly hard to come by and was on the brink of an exit last year. A Chinese Super League side came calling, but Real Madrid pulled the plug on that deal at the last minute.
Speaking in an interview with Sky Sports, Bale expressed his anguish and stated: "I tried to leave last year but they blocked everything at the last second. It was a project I was excited for but it didn't materialise. I want to play football, I am still motivated to play football, so I guess it's on the club. They are in control of everything. I have a contract, all I can do is carry on what I am doing and hopefully, something comes up. There have been other instances where we have tried to go but the club won't allow it or they've done something. It's down to the club"
