Gareth Bale will NOT leave Real Madrid before 2022 despite Tottenham transfer interest, insists agent


GARETH BALE’S agent claims the Real Madrid superstar will see out the rest of his contract at the Bernabeu.

The Welshman is on an eye-watering £650,000-a-week contract until the summer of 2022.

Bale, 30, was close to leaving the Spanish giants last year following a public fall-out with boss Zinedine Zidane.

A big-money move to Chinese side Jiangsu Suning collapsed at the 11th hour while injury and illness has limited Bale to just 14 Real appearances this season.

But Jonathan Barnett, speaking at the Association of Football Agents meeting in London, said: “He’s got another two-and-a-half years left on his contract, and he’s fine.

“He will be there, everything will be fine.

“That’s what I’ve always said. I’ve never deviated from that.”

Bale’s ex-club Tottenham had been linked with a shock loan bid following the long-term injury to star striker Harry Kane.

But Barnett, who quipped he is an Arsenal supporter, rejected those claims when he added: “He’s one of the best players on earth, why would he go somewhere on loan? That’s ridiculous.

“Not many clubs can actually afford him anyway.

“He’s happy, he’ll play at Real Madrid and hopefully, win a couple more things with them.”
