Toni Kroos not happy with Gareth Bale's situation at Real Madrid

Real Madrid midfielder Kroos is not happy with the way things have transpired with the club and Bale.

"I believe that he wanted to leave last summer in principle," added the Madrid star.

Real Madrid ace Toni Kroos recently told the Lauschangriff podcast: "There's no getting around that the situation is unsatisfying for everyone.

"He certainly wasn't brought in to play as little as he does now.

"I believe that he wanted to leave last summer in principle and that the club signalled a yes at first and then not again.

"I don't know if he's still a bit mad about that. It's a difficult subject."

Kroos goes on to add: "It's certainly not as extreme as it's made out to be. Everything is okay in the team.

"I've known him for six years and we've won some pretty big things together."

Gareth Bale's antics on the bench during the last few games of the season were a real talking point.

It remains to be seen if an exit is on the cards but Kroos is right - the way things are right now, it's not beneficial for anyone.
