Gareth Bale's move to Chinese club Jiangsu Suning has sensationally collapsed.

Bale's proposed switch to the Far East is understood to now be off with the Wales international now facing the prospect of staying at Real Madrid.

Telegraph Sport understands Bale's move to Suning – where he would have earned over £1 million a week – has broken down over demands made by Real Madrid, who are seeking a transfer fee for the 30 year old.

Real's president Florentino Perez is also believed to be blocking the move as he believes Bale – who cost a then world record fee of £85 million from Tottenham Hotspur in 2013 – is too valuable a player to let go on the cheap.
