but if he calls their bluff, when the window closes, is Perez going to tolerate ZZ not using a TOP asset who is costing the club 600k per week? Particularly one who Perez actually likes a lot.I am well aware that his agent - and Bale - are playing the right cards by saying to the press that Bale's desire is to remain at Real M. while knowing that his days at Real M. are numbered. And one can't blame him for still wanting to be part of such a club either. But I don't think he'll walk away with much losses - if at all - should he leave (but then I do not know if Real M. are up to some "trickery" regarding his salary should he leave). There will be some suitors with money for sure, although I am less sure whether Man Utd - after the Sanchez flop - are willing to pay another astronomic salary to a once-up-on world class player. And Chelski looks likely have a transfer ban imposed on them.
Thing is - according to Marca - Real M. will have him play in their Uner 23 team should he refuse to move...
