It's believed that the former Tottenham Hotspur player has become isolated in the Los Blancos dressing room, as after two years in Spain, Bale still reportedly struggles with the language barrier.

Although Real's Italian manager, Carlo Ancelotti, can speak English, as well as the 30-year-old Ronaldo, the Daily Mail reported that the players in the locker rooms mainly speak Spanish - which is affecting the 25-year-old Welshman.

It's been said that Bale has continued to take lessons in Spanish, but has struggled to make the expected progress, which could be hurting his relationship with his Los Blancos teammates on the field, and off of it.

The winger's last big interview with a Spanish radio station reportedly never went down well, as the 40-minute dialogue had to be recorded in English, and translated to Spanish.

The player has been linked with a host of clubs in England, as Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United have shown their interest in his services.
