Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale has reportedly been erased from the Los Blancos squad amid speculation regarding the Welshman's future.
Bale's troubles at Real have been well-documented in recent times, and the former Tottenham Hotspur man has been linked with a move away from Zinedine Zidane's side for several months.
Manchester United are believed to be interested in bringing the 31-year-old back to the Premier League, and the Red Devils may have received a significant boost in their pursuit of Bale.
According to Marca, both Bale and Real are holding out for offers during the transfer window, and Bale is nowhere to be seen in Real's training pictures ahead of the new La Liga campaign.
Owing to a knee injury, Bale has been restricted to work in the gym, but the Wales international has effectively been cut out of the picture at Real and supposedly looks all but set to end his seven-year stint at the Bernabeu soon.
Bale made 20 appearances for Zidane's side across all competitions during the 2019-20 campaign, notching up just three goals.
