Gareth Bale (Finally) Wants to Leave Real Madrid After Matchday Snub by Zinedine Zidane

Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale is ready to push for a move away from the club next summer after growing frustrated with almost everyone at the club.

The Welshman came close to leaving during the summer - despite his agent's repeated public insistence that he would be honouring the remaining three years of his contract in Madrid - but saw a move to Chinese Super League side Jiangsu Suning collapse at the last minute.

While manager Zinedine Zidane was the main driver in attempting to rid Real's of Bale this summer, the Welshman has actually been one of the club's most important players so far this season, scoring twice and assisting as many in the opening six La Liga games.
