Reports allege that Zinedine Zidane is adamant he does not want on-loan star Gareth Bale to return to the Santiago Bernabeu, even if the Welsh star is on a renaissance and scores 30 goals for Tottenham Hotspur.
Despite playing a major role in Los Blancos lifting four Champions League titles since 2014, the handwriting is already on the wall as far as the Welsh attacker’s in Spain is concerned, judging from the latest reports emerging from the Spanish capital.
After being shipped out on-loan to former club Spurs last summer, the superstar may possibly have been hoping to reignite his Real Madrid career come the end of the campaign. But this seems to have come to nought, according to a recent report from Defensa Central claiming that manager Zidane is dead-set on offloading the 31-year-old, regardless of how well he does whilst in England.
It has been reported that when Bale secured his move to Spurs last summer, Zidane said to club president Florentino Perez:
“If he scores 30 goals at Tottenham, I don’t want him back either, because that would mean that there it has involved a lot more than it did here and that is unacceptable.”
In a serious, and more likely desperate, attempt to move Bale on, Real Madrid will reportedly demand between just £17m and £25m for his services.
