Reports have revealed the outcome of the meeting between Real Madrid outcast Gareth Bale and the club’s boss amid uncertainty surrounding the future of the Welshman at the Bernabeu.

Bale was reportedly told he is not wanted at Real Madrid in a face-to-face meeting with coach Zinedine Zidane, but he remains adamant that he wants to stay at the club.

According to the Daily Mail, the 29-year-old was called into coach Zidane’s office at the club’s Valdebebas training ground last week for a one-to-one meeting.

The newspaper adds that the exchange was brief and frosty with Bale hearing nothing he did not already know – that relations with Zidane have not improved since the last time the French coach was at the club.

Bale was left out of Sunday’s home game against Villarreal and does not expect to be involved in the remaining two fixtures of the season.

He communicated to his manager that he wants to stay to fight for his place next season and the stalemate is now likely to carry on into the summer as Madrid try to bring in Chelsea’s Eden Hazard, Manchester United’s Paul Pogba and Eintracht Frankfurt’s Luka Jovic.

Bale and Zidane fell out last season when the Wales international returned from injury in the last few weeks of the season and felt he had played his way back into the team for the Champions League final against Liverpool.
