Guillem Balague says that Gareth Bale will only stay at Real Madrid if the club make him feel "more important".

Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale wants to feel "more important" at the club, according to Spanish football expert Guillem Balague.

The pundit said that the Wales international is only willing to stay at Los Blancos if they can guarantee him regular starts and make him "the axis" of their attacks.

"There is going to be a meeting between the representatives of Gareth Bale and Real Madrid, as he announced himself, but that won't take place for at least two weeks," he told Sky Sports News.

"The message his reps want to send on behalf of Bale is that he wants to feel more important. Not only does he want to start, he wants to be the axis, the focus of Real Madrid's attacks."

Bale, who came off the bench and scored twice as Real defeated Liverpool 3-1 to clinch this season's Champions League crown, has been strongly linked with a move elsewhere of late.
