A report on TV show 'El Chiringuito' stated that a current Real Madrid player thinks that Bale is the best attacker in the squad...even when only playing at half his best

With the departures of senior dressing room figures such as Sergio Ramos and Raphael Varane, Real Madrid fans will be hoping for a big signing this transfer window. However, reports from the club's camp suggest that Gareth Bale is showing his class once more in pre-season, suggesting that expensive reinforcements may not be necessary this summer.

A Real Madrid player is reported to have said: "Bale acts the same way he always did [before joining Tottenham on loan for the 2020-21 season], but even at 50% he's the best attacker at the club".

Quoting the report that he had received from the dressing room source, journalist Edu Aguirre continued: "Bale is training well [...] He's acting just as he did under Zidane. He trains and he goes home", adding that "he doesn't have a fantastic relationship with Ancelotti".

Despite this, Bale's prospects for this season look positive. Aguirre continued: "players in the dressing room know that if Ancelotti manages to win Bale round [and motivate him], there's no reason why he can't have a good season ahead".
