GARETH BALE NOT INTERESTED IN PL RETURN

BBC

05/06/20

Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale has no intention of returning to England's top flight according to his agent Jonathan Barnett.

Bale has enjoyed seven trophy-laden years at Real since joining from Tottenham for a then world-record £85m in 2013.



The Wales international has often been cast as a scapegoat by supporters, while falling down manager Zinedine Zidane's pecking order - but Barnett has dismissed the possibility of his client leaving the Spanish giants.



"To come back and play [in the Premier League] would be a big thing but I don't think he wants to do that at the moment as he's quite happy to play at Real Madrid," Barnett told BBC Radio 4.

"I have no idea what his value is. His salary is quite high and also where he wants to go is very important in his life. I can't put a figure on it.

"It's for the clubs to decide what they want to pay for him.

"As I've always said, he's quite happy at Madrid. He has a very nice lifestyle, I don't see why he wouldn't see his career out in Madrid probably.

"It's his life that he wants to lead. Financially he will want enough for the rest of his life and all his children and grandchildren. He's won nearly everything in the world except the World Cup."

He is not interested in returning ot the EPL. Perhaps we should stay in the Championship. He can then overlook his bar.

At his age and given his injury record the cut and thrust of the PL would probably finish him off but money talks and a stella offer would see him in the PL.

Aye, some people just don't know how good they can have it for themselves.

Can anyone confirm he is a Cardiff fan or not. I've not seen anything indicating that.
