Gareth Bale must make one of three choices to reach a solution over his future.
That's according to Danny Mills, who has discussed the Real Madrid forward's current predicament and attempted to simplify it.
Zinedine Zidane admitted Real Madrid are looking to sell the Wales international this summer and Bale has received a huge offer from China.
Bale would rather stay at the Bernabeu than move to the Far East, but understands he will get little to no playing time under Zidane.
Joining a Premier League club is an alternative, but this too throws up some difficulties given the fact Bale would command huge wages and a big transfer fee.
Breaking down Bale's three choices, Mills told talkSPORT: "One: Stay at Real Madrid for around £500,000-a-week, stay there for three years, fight for his place and maybe not play an awful lot of football.
"Two: Go to China, double his wages for the next three seasons and play for a bit of fun, do whatever he wants to do.
"Or Three: Come back to the Premier League and take at least half [what he's earning now at Real Madrid]. What, £300,000-a-week? Maybe not even that. What clubs are going to pay that?"
Bale's agent Jonathan Barnett has confirmed that whatever happens his client will not be leaving Real Madrid on loan this summer.
"Gareth is one of the best players on the planet," said Barnett. "I can guarantee you he will not be going on loan to any club."
