GARETH BALE appeared to be cut off from his Real Madrid team-mates as they flew out to Canada for pre-season tour.
Bale is out of favour at the Bernabeu and club chiefs are looking to off-load the £600,000-a-week outcast.
Zinedine Zidane is hopeful of shifting the Welshman’s wages in order to bring Manchester United’s Paul Pogba to Madrid.
Los Blancos have already splashed £300million on Eden Hazard, Luka Jovic and Ferland Mendy.
But Bale, 29, is determined to stay in the Spanish capital and fight for his place in Zidane’s team.
Yet, footage of the squad arriving in Canada on Tuesday showed Bale to be distant from his fellow Galacticos.
It came hours after Bale had been given an angry reception by Real fans as he arrived at the club’s training base on Tuesday morning.
Supporters shouted “desagradecido” – Spanish for ‘ungrateful’ – at the forward as he pulled up in his silver Audi 4X4.
A Chinese Super League club has reportedly offered Bale a ludicrous £1.2million A WEEK deal to escape Real.
Bale’s agent, Jonathan Barnett, has said that he believes his player would suit Manchester United – but that a move there is unlikely to happen.
Barnett said: “He could fit in there but it’s very unlikely.”
Bayern Munich were also interested, but only on a loan, and Barnett insists that has no chance of happening.
He said: “Obviously, Gareth’s situation hasn’t improved. But a loan move is not going to happen.
“I don’t think he wants to go out on loan. He’s got a lovely life in Spain. It would take something exceptional for him to leave and loans are not on the menu.”
Zidane’s team have flown out to Montreal which will be their training pre-season training base.
They will then head on to the United States to take part in the International Champions Cup.
