According to sources close to AS, the Welshman plans to leave Real Madrid, but a move in January doesn't look viable and China looks to be the most likely option.
Gareth Bale has had some topsy-turvy spells in his six years at Real Madrid, but none more so than the last month, reaching a situation in which both player and club appear to have reached an impasse.
Bale has neither trained nor played for Real Madrid since 13 October, baffling Real Madrid supporters. "Bale and James aren't injured, but they're not available", Zidane said recently, adding yet more confusion, which was further compounded by Bale starting in Wales' qualifier against Azerbaijan on Saturday.
Wantaway Bale's January and summer options
According to sources close to AS, the Welshman plans to leave Real Madrid but is aware of the difficulties of a January move and is looking for a way out next summer, with China looking like the only option.
Bale's high wages (17 million euros, net, per year), his blighted injury record (he has only feautured in 51.81% of Madrid's official matches) and his age (30) are all decisive factors in his future.
The former Spurs player is also unwilling to lose money when he does move on, which, combined with the above, almost certainly closes the door to top clubs in Europe, the MLS or Quatar. Shanghai Shenhua, a club with whom he was previously linked, has denied its interest in the player.
Criticism and Zidane
Bale, tired of the same old problems and criticism, feels he has almost reached the point of no return at the club and is reportedly still irked by a move to China in the summer being denied by Madrid at the last minute.
His relationship with Zidane has also been slowly deteriorating, and problems between the two date back to the French trainer's first stint at the club. In his second spell, Bale has been handed 43.79% of playing time available.

Will he return the trophies n all the monies real Madrid paid him. I don't understand these players atimes. We wake up early in the morning to make the bus that takes us to work that we don't like and the pay in a year is not even up to what they pay these guys in a week for doing their hobby n he is saying all these bullshits! if I am paid what Bale earns in a week. If Zidane bench me for 1game like Bale is complaining. I will tell him well done boss, I am available any time u need me boss. I respect your decision. I will continue to learn from you.

Why did he not go last year? He wanted to play abit better to boost his pay check in the new club. Another terrible mistake bc even this year it wnt be better bchis main problem is his proneness to injuries. Nobody will pay 17m a season for injuries only China can do that.
