Welsh Bale accuses the Real Madrid management of placing obstacles to his departure
The Welshman, Gareth Bale, accused his club, Real Madrid, of the Spanish champions, of making the subject of his departure "very difficult" in their efforts to end his story with the Merengue.
Bale is not considered one of the favorite players for French coach Zinedine Zidane, as he played only 48 minutes in 11 games after the resumption of the local league last June after the suspension of competitions due to the outbreak of the new Corona virus for nearly three months.
The Welsh international said in a statement to Sky Sports that the club is putting up obstacles to his departure, and he said: I think the club owes me an answer to this question, because I tried to leave last year.
They stopped everything at the last minute. "
"It was a project that I was excited about last year but it did not materialize. We tried to leave to other club places but the club did not allow it or do anything, so it is the club's responsibility, I can't really do anything. I have a contract, everything. What I can do is to continue what I do and hope something will happen. "
And he added, "As I said, the issue is in the hands of the club. They make it very difficult for me to be frank."
Bale became the most expensive player in the world upon joining Real Madrid from Tottenham for 85 million pounds (113 million dollars) in 2013.
With the Spanish team, he won the league twice and the European Champions League four times, but his critics accused him of showing disrespect. With the intensification of his differences with Zidane.
He was seen on camera lenses pretending to sleep in the stands with the muzzle over his eyes and again when he used a roll of medical tape that wraps his wrist as an endoscope when he discovered that Zidane would not include him in the match as a substitute.
"I want to play football and I'm still passionate about playing. I am only 31 years old and I feel I'm still in good shape," Bale said.
Bale has been linked with a return to his former club Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United, where he expressed his desire to return to the English Premier League after seven years spent in Spain if Real Madrid was ready to sell him.
"If these are the options, I will definitely consider them. We have plenty of time before the summer transfer window ends, and I think there are two other teams as well. Time will tell," he added.
The Welsh captain confirmed that his problems with Real would not negatively affect his performance with his country. "What happens in Madrid stays in Madrid. This does not really affect me. I have a lot of experience to deal with that. That's what it is."
