His agent has said that players at Bale's level don't go out on loan, so I guess he is ruling that out.

It's been suggested he dosen't want a move to the Premier League, probably beacause he is worried about picking up injuries or most likely because nobody could afford him.

The China deal was the best for all parties, Bale secures a pay rise, Real offload him and Wales have a happy footballer playing regularly. It's Madrid's fault for pulling the plug on that.

I think he's going to sit out his contract, unless someone comes in with a huge pay package for him which is now even more unlikely with impact of Covid-19. I don't blame him, he is perfectly entitled to.

No matter waht people write in the English press, his attitude has always been spot on for me, he's always in incredible condition, looks afterhimself off the pitch and makes very sensible business decisions. Not only that he has delivered on the pitch. He cost £85m, whcih dosen't sound a lot now, when you consider the Pogba and Couthinho fees, and repaid Madrid with trophies, spectacular goals and match winning performances. I'd say he's been great value.

I'd love him to be playing, pref in Europe, as I want Wales to be firing on all cylinders when we get to the Euros but att he moment I can't see that happening. Will he retire after his contact runs out? Does he want a crack at the next World Cup with Wales? Very difficult call.
