Gareth Bale transfer news: Real Madrid star out of pre-season tour squad

Bale had been expected to sign a three-year deal worth a reported £1m a week with Jiangsu Suning before the deal fell through

Gareth Bale has been left out of Real Madrid's squad for their pre-season trip to Munich after seeing his move to China collapse.

Bale had been expected to sign a three-year deal worth a reported £1million a week with Jiangsu Suning before the deal fell through when the club's board pulled the plug after Florentino Perez personally intervened.

Real are set to play Tottenham and Red Bull Salzburg this week but it is suggested that the 30-year-old is not in the right mental state to take part.

Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has made it clear he was not Bale's biggest fan and the player's injury record - he has made just 79 LaLiga starts in the last four seasons - did not help his cause.

Last week Zidane said Bale was "very close to leaving" and his exit would be "best for everyone" after omitting him from their pre-season friendly against Bayern Munich.

"He wasn't included in the squad because the club is working on his departure and that's why he didn't play," Zidane said.

"Let's hope, for everyone's sake, that it happens soon. The club is dealing with the club that he'll move to.

"It's nothing personal. There comes a time when things are done because they need to be done. I've not got anything against him.

"We have to make decisions and change things, that's all there is to it. You're aware of the situation and there'll be a change to it. I don't know if this will happen in 24 or 48 hours' time.

"The situation will change and it's for the best for everyone. That's how things go. I speak with the club, we've got decisions to make and it's a decision that's been made by the coach and the player. Let's see how things play out."

Bale moved from Tottenham to Real Madrid in 2013 in a then world-record £85million deal and has helped the club win the Champions League four times during his spell at the Bernabeu.
