Meanwhile, Bale’s agent Jonathan Barnett has shut down talk that his client could return to Spurs.
"I don't think so, no. He's in a very fortunate position,” he said when asked about the possibility.
"When his contract is up hopefully he will sit down with me and his family and decide what he wants to do. Gareth is very happy over there.
"And let's be realistic, for most clubs he is out of their league, financially.
"It is all well and good to say, 'Go and give up that money and go and play somewhere else', but it is not all about money. It is about his lifestyle and his children, who have grown up in Madrid."

Barnett also claimed Tottenham never actually launched a concrete offer for Bale.
"No. He [Levy] may have [visited Madrid], it's not for me to say whether he did or didn't," Barnett added.
"A lot has been said by people who don't know anything about what is going on.
