The Welshman has won four Champions Leagues and two LaLiga titles since heading to the Spanish capital from Tottenham in 2013 but in recent years has become a lightening rod for criticism regarding Real's problems.
Last season, Bale returned to Tottenham on loan for the campaign where he became team-mates with Hart, who was the No 2 goalkeeper at Spurs.
