Gareth Bale agent rules out Real Madrid exit?

Gareth Bale's agent has seemingly ruled out the possibility of the Wales star leaving Real Madrid this summer.

The forward has been linked with several Premier League clubs of late, including Manchester United and former employers Tottenham Hotspur, but his representative Jonathan Barnett has moved to dismiss such rumours.

"Gareth is a Real Madrid player and loves Real Madrid, and Real Madrid love Gareth," he told ESPN.

"All this talk about leaving is written by reporters who have no idea what's going on and who need to write something and don't care if it's true or not."

Bale has scored 14 goals in 31 appearances for Real this season, although many of those have been substitute outings.

The Welshman is contracted to the La Liga giants until the end of the 2021-22 campaign.
