Gareth Bale and James Rodriguez have not been named in Real Madrid’s squad to face Red Bull Salzburg in a pre-season friendly match on Wednesday evening as the pair continue to face uncertainty over their respective futures at the club.
Bale had reportedly agreed a £1 million-a-week deal to move to China with Jiangsu Suning back in July, but Madrid seemingly refused to let the four-time Champions League winner leave without a significant transfer fee.
The suggestion was that the Welshman had hoped the club, at which he is clearly not in manager Zinedine Zidane’s plans, would let him leave on the cheap as Chinese clubs must pay a 100 per cent tax on significant transfer fees.
