I heard this morning that someone in China is offering him £1m per week.

I think he'll just stay put, pick up his £650k every week and play Golf for the next 3 years.
His record at Real is truly amazing over 100 goals 14 trophies including 4 champions league winners medals , sounds like he’s being hounded out doesn’t it .

Think I’d stay & play golf too.
Ironically, his record is better than Zidane's at Real Madrid.

His family is supposed to be quite settled in Madrid too. I'd be inclined to my heels in and give them 2 fingers.

Wonder how long it'd stay like that I'd the team aren't winning everything.

I think I'd stay too.

BCM, 78 goals for RM. Still good at one every other game, but nowhere hear 100.

I think I'd do the same as well.

As someone else wrote, do that and he might still last longer than ZZ!

I can't see him accepting any offer from China, no matter how much $$ they dangle.

The BBC say he's scored 102 goals

It's 78 La Liga goals

He has a better goals to game ratio than Raul.

If it wasn't for Ronaldo's stats skewing things he'd pretty much be top of the list.

I forgot RM fans used to boo Ronaldo from time to time, they really are ste fans.

Especially considering he's missed 100 odd RM games from being so injury prone....

He is going to China for a 4% pay rise? Surely he already has more money than he can spend in 2 lifetimes?

Isn't he reported to be on £1m a week.

Wonder what his 'settled in Madrid' family think about moving to China.

Have RM waived a transfer fee as has been rumoured.

Only place that can afford him, as no where else was going to stump up his wage demands.......and he wasn't going to play for less as the money is more important than playing to him, by all accounts.

What are the golf courses like in China?

I think I would have just had a knock about with the youth team in the morning and played golf in the afternoon in Madrid. He still has 3 years left on his contract so they have to keep paying him £350k a week after tax.

That's over £50m take home for 3 years not doing much whilst staying living in Madrid with his settled life.

He’d probably outlast Zidane if he did that. And I wouldn’t blame him if he did. People expect players to take a pay cut to go somewhere else when they’ve accepted a contract on a certain wage, in a certain city for so many years and just expect them to upend all that for ‘play time’.

I can never understand the pearl clutching when a player does something like this. If I were one, acutely aware of the short career, that could be ended at anytime just by being at work, I'd jump at it & screw the fans who to a man are as fickle as the weather. His career, his choice.

So the deals off.

"We hope he leaves soon. It would be best for everyone. We are working on his transfer to a new team."

Zidane looks a bit of a tit at the moment then.

I think Zidane will be gone before Bale is.

A lot going on behind the scenes.
