'GARETH BALE WON'T BE GOING OUT ON LOAN'
SKY SPORTS
Tuesday 23rd July 2019
Speaking of Gareth Bale, if the forward is to leave Real Madrid this summer it will not be on loan, his agent Jonathan Barnett has told Sky Sports News.
“There will be no makeshift deals to get him out of the club," he said.
“Gareth is one of the best players on the planet. I can guarantee you he will not be going on loan to any club.”
With the 30-year old Welshman unlikely to agree to a significant pay cut – and any move looking likely to be a permanent one from Madrid - the list of clubs who could afford to land Bale is decreasing by the day.
Jiangsu Suning and Beijing Guoan are understood to be keen on bringing him to the Chinese Super League – but will be aware that the transfer window in China closes in just 8 days’ time.
“Gareth is a Real Madrid player and for now he’s staying as a Real Madrid player,” said Barnett.
“If something comes along that suits us, then things could change and he could be gone in a day or a week. Or he could still be a Real player in three years when his contract ends.”
Bale trained with his team-mates yesterday ahead of the game overnight tonight against Arsenal.

Bale holds all the cards at the moment, unless they're ready to pay off his contract or they get a stupid offer for him then he doesn't have to go anywhere.
