Real Madrid are due to meet with Gareth Bale’s representatives on Wednesday, however the club have no intention of selling the player, according to Sky Sports’ Spanish football expert Guillem Balague.
Bale, who only joined Real from Tottenham in 2013, has come in for heavy criticism from Madrid’s fans this season as the club prepare to finish the campaign without a trophy.
Recent reports have claimed Bale could be set for a return to the Premier League this summer, with both Manchester City and Manchester United heavily linked with the 25-year-old.
Bale is not going anywhere this summer and will still be at Real next season
But Balague insists Bale will still be at the Bernabeu next season and that the meeting with Real is simply to gauge how to get the best out of him in the future.
“Bale is unhappy with how his season has gone and where Real have been playing him,” says Balague. “But it is just a normal type of conversation to discuss what his role will be at the club next season and how Madrid can make him play better, with Bale wanting answers from them on those issues.
“However, Bale is not going anywhere this summer and will still be at Real next season, although both his position and role in the team have to change.
“And so while the headlines in Thursday’s papers may be about Bale leaving the club this summer after today’s meeting, Madrid definitely do not want him to go and nor does he want to leave either.”
