Jonathan Barnett says his client is not considering a move back to England, even if his Real Madrid future is not clear
Gareth Bale is not thinking of a return to the Premier League from Real Madrid, according to his agent, Jonathan Barnett.
Wales star Bale has been linked with a move back to England during a difficult sixth season in the Spanish capital.
The 29-year-old, who has scored 14 goals in 38 appearances in all competitions in 2018-19, was jeered by some fans during last week's unconvincing 2-1 La Liga win over Eibar.
Zinedine Zidane, who returned as head coach last month, has so far been guarded on Bale's long-term future and refused to offer any guarantees that he will form part of his plans next term.
However, Barnett insists Bale does not want to leave the Santiago Bernabeu.
He told Deportes Cuatro: "He's very happy here. He's a Real Madrid player. Right now, he's not thinking about going back to England.
"I can't predict the future. But, for now, he's very happy."
Bale joined Madrid from Tottenham in 2013 for a reported €100 million fee, a world record at the time.
He has won 13 major trophies in his time in Spain, including four Champions Leagues.
Manchester United and Chelsea have regularly been linked with a bid for the former Southampton man.

Hell yeah! His salary is 17 mil! He is smart enough to miss such a chance! Madrid is perfect place for him to play golf, other than UK with its rainy weather.

I know Real Madrid fans will beg to differ but I think Real Madrid is the most ungrateful club in Europe. I remember when they salivated over Gareth Bale and did everything to bring him to the club. Now look at the way he is being treated by their ungrateful fans. Even Ronaldo who is arguably the best player on the planet was subjected to the same treatment before he left the club.

He must be happy considering what he received and the less input he gave to the team. I don't know which English will pay him that amount knowing his inconsistency.

Dear agent, please make him think about England or any other country other than spain. we madrid fans are tired of gareth "the injured" bale. tired of his back passes. tired of his running around the field for 90 mins with zero impact.

why should bale leave real Madrid if he has a contract of 450k per week. only a fool will leave such a contract. and mark my word no club will take this guy at 450k per week. just like Sanchez will never leave man Utd since he is getting 500k per week which no other club will pay him even if he is warming the bench. for me for the moment bale and Sanchez are the most hated players by the respective real and man Utd fans since these two guys are robbing their clubs.
