The alternatives for the change of course of Gareth Bale are exhausted. The Welsh representative, Jonathan Barnett , and Real Madrid executives rush the player's exit options at the beginning of a week that seems decisive. Next Thursday, at 6:00 p.m., the hiring market of the Premier closes, the championship that should be the new destiny of the striker, after the Chinese league option failed.

The absence of tuning between the end and Zinedine Zidane is recognized by the coach himself and the player's environment, so a change of page should be the best decision for both parties. If an answer to this conflict is not found, the coexistence of the workforce could be seriously affected. Coach and footballer are irreconcilable and in the dressing room there is no great harmony with a partner who has never been integrated. He barely speaks Spanish and prefers to relax with golf and seclude himself in his fabulous chalet rather than encourage coexistence with the rest.

In the current preseason, Gareth Bale has only participated in two of the five games played, both corresponding to the American tour, against Arsenal and against Atlético de Madrid. In the match against the team prepared by Unai Emery he scored a bit and was very successful in the 45 minutes played. More gray was in the confrontation against the group of Diego Simeone , in which he participated for 28 minutes. Total: 73 minutes.

In the two games played in Europe, in the Audi Cup, against Tottenham and Fenerbache was not even called, he stayed in Valdebebas waiting for negotiations with Chinese football and working out in the gym. He spent his free time playing golf in a select field in the capital. This Wednesday, Real Madrid faces Red Bull Salzburg (7 pm, Real Madrid TV) and Zidane must decide whether to call him.

The high price of his card, the need for Real Madrid to try to amortize the 100 million disbursed for his signing and the little desire of the Bale family to leave Madrid make the sale of the player complicated. Sold out the cartridge of the Premier, an option is the Bundesliga, with Bayern as the best placed. Nothing is disposable, not even in the absence of interesting offers remain in the team.

Zidane begins to feel uncomfortable because some efforts of the outgoing operation seem stagnant. The French coach wants to accelerate the marches of Bale and James Rodríguez . The Dutchman Van de Beek wins options at the entrance. In the Dutch press it is assured that the agreement is practically closed and that the transfer could be announced after August 13, when Ajax could have certified its classification for the Champions League. The midfielder has been summoned by Ajax for Tuesday's match against Greek PAOK corresponding to the previous phase of the Champions League.
