Gareth Bale has had a torrid season at Real Madrid. Injuries and poor form have resulted in him becoming public enemy number one for the Bernabeu faithful while manager Zinedine Zidane has made it clear that the Welshman doesn't feature in his first-team plans.

The potential signing of Eden Hazard might be the final turning point to convince Bale to leave Real Madrid, with reports suggesting the Welshman is currently insisting Real stick to the remaining three years of a contract extension he signed in 2016 which is thought to be worth a jaw-dropping £350,000 a week.

The hero of the 2017-18 UEFA Champions League final, where Bale hit the headlines with an acrobatic bicycle-kick goal, the Welsh wizard had arrived at Real Madrid in 2013 for a-then world record fee of a reported €100 million. Persistent injuries and a lack of form has seen him start only 27 games this season in all competitions, scoring 11 goals and providing 5 assists. A dismal 207 minutes per goal ratio is a measure of how far the 29-year-old has fallen, with his electric pace having taken a hit with increasing age.
