Real Madrid are growing increasingly concerned over Gareth Bale's progress at Tottenham.
Bale is on a straight loan at Tottenham for the season and Real management had hoped he would rediscover his best form in London. There was a belief Bale could revive his valuation ahead of Real selling him next summer.
But with the Wales captain again struggling in a Spurs shirt there's major concerns inside the board room that he will return next summer with no potential buyers lined up.
There's now fears Real will be stuck with Bale for the final year of his contract.
