No reason for Bale not to finish his career at Madrid: Agent

Wales footballer Gareth Bale’s agent has reiterated the winger’s need to remain at Real Madrid for the foreseeable future. Bale has been a part of seven trophy-laden years at Santiago Bernabeu however his relationship with the followers has soured over time.

Bale has seen topic to intense scrutiny since his report breaking transfer to Real Madrid from Tottenham Hotspur in 2013. Persistent accidents have stopped Bale from reaching full potential in Spain and followers have again and again expressed their displeasure at Welshman’s performances within the all-white.

Despite this, Bale’s agent Jonathan Barnett has dismissed the thought of him leaving Madrid, failing to place a price ticket on the footballer’s head.

“I have no idea what his value is. His salary is quite high and also where he wants to go is very important in his life. I can’t put a figure on it,” Barnett advised BBC Radio 4. “It’s for the clubs to decide what to play for him. As I’ve always said, he’s quite happy at Madrid. He has a very nice lifestyle; I don’t see why he wouldn’t see his career out in Madrid probably.

“It’s his life that he wants to lead. Financially he will want enough for the rest of his life and all his children and grandchildren. He’s won nearly everything in the world except the World Cup.”

Bale had not too long ago opened up concerning getting booed throughout matches. “We get a lot of pressure every game. If you don’t play well, there’s scrutiny,” Bale had mentioned on US golf podcast The Erik Anders Lang Show.

“I’ve had 80,000 people in a stadium whistle at me because I haven’t played well. I’ve had it a few times! It’s not nice and it doesn’t do your confidence any good either.”
