The fact that Bale insists on staying at Real for maximum financial gain even though he will never be first choice under Zidane shows where his motivation level is.

He signed a contract, he is owed that money. Madrid put themselves in this situation. He has every right to rinse them for every penny. He is now 30, time is running out and he has a family. Yes, it's obscene money, but that is what Madrid offered him and it would set his family up for life after the game. I'd be doing the same.The fact that Bale insists on staying at Real for maximum financial gain even though he will never be first choice under Zidane shows where his motivation level is.
He can do whatever he wants, but it'll say a lot about the type of person he is if he'd rather watch football for the rest of his career than actually play it.He signed a contract, he is owed that money.

Same place it is for a vast majority of us - life is short, families are precious. He's been handed an opportunity to make sure his family are sorted for life, why would he risk that for what is essentially a game?
I'm not so sure he's the hold up though - Madrid haven't said they've even had an offer let alone accepted one and until that happens it's not like he's been offered an alternative. We don't even know what wages he's prepared to accept because Real won't let anyone offer him a contract.
Has any team actually offered him a contract that he's turned down? Because I've not seen it.
It’s a bargaining position.Whilst I agree with this, we are not taking about an ordinary Joe here or even a relatively wealthy member of the public. Or even a footballer at the likes of Sheff Utd.
I find it hard to believe he hasn’t accumulated enough wealth at Spurs and Madrid to this date ( not mentioning all his endorsements) to have already set his family up for life.
Genuinely shocked at how dense some must have to be to not see this.It’s a bargaining position.

Probably loads, but their fans aren't coming in here and announcing it's not happening like Einstein telling the world about his latest discovery
Trouble is that Juve have been spending money and playing him in the same team as Ronaldo isn't going to work. Can't see any club in Germany sanctioning those kind of wages and the only one in France is PSG.The early window close can't be in our favour either. I'd imagine that puts Italy, Germany and France as the most likely opportunity.
That’s just right though, no one is going to pay his full wages, and RM have got to be getting close to realizing that. AS article said we would pay ~160k, and around that level many teams would be interested, especially for a loan late in the window.Trouble is that Juve have been spending money and playing him in the same team as Ronaldo isn't going to work.

Hence why he's still not moved, there are very few possibilities out there for him.
Possibly, but I don't see anyone outside of Inter, PSG (if Neymar goes), Utd and maybe Bayern being options for him, and Spurs of course.That’s just right though, no one is going to pay his full wages, and RM have got to be getting close to realizing that.
