In terms of documents, Gareth Bale is still a Real Madrid player, but in fact, his image is no longer at the club. The Royal team wants nothing from Bale and in return, he also wants nothing from the club. They are just looking to solve the current complex problem.
There has been no official offer sent to Madrid, while although he wants to leave, Bale has no problem with "sitting around playing" to fulfill the 2-year contract.
4 days ago, Bale returned to Madrid after serving with the Welsh team, but he announced that he could not practice due to a knee problem. The 31-year-old winger only practices in the gym and has not been present at training sessions on the pitch with coach Zinedine Zidane.
No medical reports have been released and that is one of the factors showing that Real Madrid has removed the Bale name from all activities. And this team started to erase his image.
Bale's shirt 11 is no longer in store, as the arrangement from Luka Modric's shirt 10 is continued with Marcelo's shirt 12. In addition, Bale is also not present in the new jersey advertisement with Karim Benzema, Marcelo, Sergio Ramos and Marco Asensio.
The Valdebebas training center also did not leave any images of Bale. He practices in the gym like Isco alarcon, the player also has physical problems, but there are no photos taken by Bale.
With these moves, the "cold war" will last for another 3 weeks, when the transfer market closes. Recently, Manchester United and Tottenham have mentioned the Bale name with the possibility of bringing him back to the Premier League but have not yet made any official offers.
For now, president Florentino Perez and representative Jonathan Barnett of Bale will have to find a common voice on how to end it. If they cannot agree on a plan, they will accept a long period of each other's suffering and wait for the next transfer window to open.
