Gareth Bale must complete his plan in the space of a few hours with the Chinese Super League for £ 20 million a year

It seems that Gareth Bale sealed a transfer in the Chinese Super League "in a few hours".

The Welsh is preparing to sign a £ 20 million a year contract with Juangsu Suning, according to Marca.

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane has not concealed the club's desire to unload Bale and his salary of £ 600,000 a week this summer.

He was not part of the group for his friendly against Bayern Munich, which Zidane later claimed to be because the former Tottenham striker had refused to play.

But he was involved in the next game against Arsenal, coming off the bench to score in the second half, Los Blancos taking it on penalties.

Basel would have signed a three-year contract in the Far East while he was opting for a lucrative transfer to China.

Aged 30, he has scored 102 goals and won 13 trophies in Real since his arrival in the Spanish capital six years ago.

Marca said the agreement could be announced tomorrow.

After announcing that Real wanted to unload Bale from his property in public, Zidane said he had not respected the player, who won four titles in the Champions League at Bernabeu.

"I did not disrespect anyone and let alone a player (Bale)," Zidane said. "The club takes care of his departure.

"The other day, Gareth did not play because he did not want to." He said the club was trying to negotiate his departure and that he did not want to play for that reason .

"Until now, Bale has not asked not to play tomorrow.

"The situation in Basel is known to all and will not change. The club will do what they have to do with it.

"I have to respect the players. Bale is with us and will do the same thing as the others. "

Bale had been badociated with a return to the Premier League with Tottenham or Manchester United, but his salary was still likely to be a stumbling block.
