Real Madrid: Gareth Bale has 'no intention' of leaving says expert
That is according to information given by transfer expert Guillem Balague.
Bale has cut a maligned figure in recent weeks with Los Blancos fans growing fed up with his inability to fill Cristiano Ronaldo’s shoes.
The Welshman was booed off the Bernabeu turf earlier this month after a disappointing display in the El Clasico, which Real lost 1-0.
According to his team-mates, Bale recently turned down a team meal because it was “too late” and can still not speak Spanish after six years in the country.
The 29-year-old is deployed in a similarly free-roaming role to Hazard at Chelsea, who has not hidden his desire to join the 13-time European champions.
The Belgian has stalled on signing a contract extension in west London and would relish the opportunity of working with Zinedine Zidane, who rejoined Real Madrid last week.
After explaining a swap deal between the two players is not based on anything concrete he has heard, Balague broke down the complicated transfer situation.
“Gareth Bale has got no intention of leaving Real Madrid,” Balague clarified in a video on his YouTube channel.

Gareth Bale has got no intention of leaving Real Madrid
Guillem Balague
“It would be different if he’s forced out, but right now he just wants to stay. He’s not motivated by a challenge somewhere else, he just wants to stay.
“If that’s the case, Madrid will have to keep him because there’s still three years left on his contract.
“Quite clearly Real Madrid don’t feel they’ll be able to get £100m for him in his form and with the injuries he’s had.
