Zidane tight-lipped over Bale future as he refuses to offer any assurances over Madrid stay

The Wales international forward has been deemed surplus to requirements by the Blancos, but no suitable offers have seemingly been tabled this summer

Zinedine Zidane remains tight-lipped over Gareth Bale’s future at Real Madrid, with no transfer having yet been agreed for the Wales international despite a summer of speculation.

The 30-year-old forward was expected to head out of the Santiago Bernabeu during the current window.

Zidane has made it clear that Bale no longer figures in his plans, but shifting a player on a long-term contract with a lucrative salary is proving to be difficult.
