Madrid block Bale transfer to Chinese Super League

Real Madrid have blocked Gareth Bale's proposed move to China. It was reported during the week that the forward was set to leave Real Madrid for Chinese Super League team Jiangsu Suning, a deal which will earn him £1m a week.

The deal has now been called off as Club President Florentino Perez believes Bale is too valuable to let leave the team. The forward is now expected to stay with the team which prevented his move to the Chinese Super League.
Bale scored a goal against Arsenal last week and the coach was satisfied with his performance contrary to some report that he could have fallen out of Zinedine Zidane,s plan. After the game against Arsenal, Zidane said, " He put in a good performance and am pleased for him."

The Welshman was also linked with a move to Manchester United earlier this summer but the deal did not go through, Bale now look set to stay with the Galacticos.
