Bale‘s agent Jonathan Barnett has said the former Tottenham player does not want a move elsewhere and is keen to remain at the Bernabeu.“He wants to stay,” said Barnett. “I am not sure that Mr Zidane wants him to stay but at the moment Gareth wants to stay. “He has got a contract, he will quite happily see it out until 2022. He has been and is, in my opinion, one of the top three or four players in the world.“This game is a game of opinions and Mr Zidane doesnt think that. That is his opinion, he is entitled to it, I wont criticise him.”
