Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale is reportedly aware of some drama already unfolding at his club regarding the summer transfer window signing Mariano Diaz.
The forward was re-signed from Lyon late on in the transfer window after some impressive form in Ligue 1, and was even given Cristiano Ronaldo’s old number 7 shirt at the Bernabeu.

However, Diaz is said to be concerned that he’s not looking like being first choice up front under manager Julen Lopetegui, according to Don Balon.
