Many did not expect the Welshman to remain in the Spanish capital before the start of the new season, but Carlo Ancelotti is planning on using the player this campaign.
Bale joined Los Blancos in Ancelotti's first season with the club in 2012, where the club won the UEFA Champions League.
After spending last season on loan at Tottenham Hotspur, Marco Asensio took Bale's No.11 which means the returning star has to change and will be wearing No.18 this campaign, according to the LaLiga website.
