Gareth Bale, Zidane furious after Real Madrid pull plug on China deal for Welshman

- Gareth Bale is angry with Real Madrid chiefs over the cancellation of his China move

- Los Blancos made a u-turn on their decision to sell the forward this season

- The 30-year-old has three seasons left on his current deal with the Spanish League giants

Gareth Bale has reportedly expressed his anger towards Real Madrid chiefs after canceling his mega money move to China.

The Welshman was earlier this summer linked with a move to the Chinese Super League in a deal which will see him earn about £1 million a week after tax in Asia.

Los Blancos however made a u-turn on the deal they have practically signed off following their disappointing defeat to city rivals Atletico Madrid last week.

Bale has three more seasons on his current deal with the Santiago Bernabeu side, but his failing relationship with Zinedine Zidane might not allow him see out his contract at the club.

Meanwhile, SunSport reports that the French tactician was furious about the move - having said earlier this month that 'it would be in everyone's interest if Bale left the Bernabeu'.

Zidane, who led the Galacticos to three consecutive Champions League triumphs was hoping the forward's departure would help him secure Paul Pogba's signature ahead of next season.

It would be recalled that Los Blancos manager left the club after lifting his third straight UEFA elite title last summer, but was re-hired following Real's struggles all season long.

The Sun however believes Bale has the tendency to out-last his manager for the second time at the club.

Legit.ng earlier reported that Spanish League giants Real Madrid have handed Gareth Bale a lifeline as they seem to have cancelled the player's imminent move to China.

The Welshman has been heavily linked with a £1 million a week move to join Chinese topflight side Jiangsu Suning on a three-year deal - which will see him become world's most paid player.

However, Los Blancos disappointing 7-3 defeat to city rivals Atletico Madrid in an international friendly could be responsible for their sudden decision to keep the winger.
