Gareth Bale’s ongoing struggles at Real Madrid have made it “impossible” for him to remain at the club, claims former Blancos president Ramon Calderon.

The Wales international was returned to Zinedine Zidane’s plans for a final day clash with Real Betis on Sunday but was left on the bench despite the Santiago Bernabeu witnessing another forgettable 2-0 defeat.

Zidane stated afterwards that he must act in the best interests of the team after Bale was overlooked for a potential Madrid farewell against Betis.

Bale has long been linked with a return to the Premier League.

Manchester United have been credited with interest for some time, while talk of a possible retracting of his steps to Tottenham is now building.

It has been suggested that a player tied to a contract through to 2022 could be allowed to head back to north London on an initial loan agreement.

Calderon believes such a switch could be possible, adding: “Maybe he will go on loan.

“It is a problem when the coach and player do not get along, you have to look at every option to find a solution.

“The problem is the salary, it is a high salary. He has not been lucky at Madrid since the beginning. Fans thought for the money he would be better than Cristiano and that was really impossible.

“It is a divorce that is difficult to solve. They will find a loan or a transfer for perhaps a low amount of money.”
