Gareth Bale has pulled out of Real Madrid’s trip to Munich
for a pre-season tournament, following the collapse of his proposed move
to China.
It is understood Bale is not in the right mental state to play after
Real president Florentino Perez prevented him from joining Jiangsu
Suning.
Last week, Real boss Zinedine Zidane said the 30-year-old was “very close to leaving” having fallen out of favour.
Zidane added his exit would be “best for everyone”.
The 33-time Spanish champions will play Bale’s former club Tottenham
on Tuesday in the opening game of the tournament that also includes
Bayern Munich and Fenerbahce.
Left-back Danny Rose is included in Spurs’ squad, despite being left
out of the pre-season tour party of Asia in order to seek a new club.
Bale joined the Spanish club for £85m from Tottenham in 2013 in a world record deal at the time.
