Gareth Bale transfer news: Zinedine Zidane addresses Real Madrid forward’s golf obsession after an absence.

Axar.az reports citing Independent that Zinedine Zidane has reminded Gareth Bale of his responsibilities after the Wales striker was apparently pictured playing golf during Real Madrid's Audi Cup game with Tottenham.

Bale missed Real's pre-season trip to Germany after his proposed move to Chinese club Jiangsu Suning fell through on Sunday.

The 30-year-old was reportedly going to be paid £1m per week in China.

But Real manager Zidane claimed after Tuesday's 1-0 defeat by Spurs that the Welshman "didn't travel because he wasn't fit".

Bale has won four Champions League winners' medals and scored 102 goals in 231 appearances at Real.

But injury problems have limited him to 79 La Liga starts in the past four seasons, and Zidane said before the collapse of the China deal that it would be "best for everyone" for Bale to leave Real.
