Gareth Bale has decided to not renew his contract at Real Madrid beyond the summer, his agent Jonathan Barnett has confirmed. The 32-year-old enjoyed a fruitful spell at the Santiago Bernabeu, though struggled to nail down a role in the Spanish side's first-team after a series of injuries.
The Wales international, who arrived in La Liga nine years ago for British record fee worth £85million, featured 258 times for Los Blancos, directly contributing towards 173 goals. He was a pivotal piece in the puzzle which saw Real Madrid become the first side to win the Champions League three years in a row.
Bale won three La Liga titles, four Champions Leagues and four FIFA Club World Cups during his spell at the Bernabeu. He spent many of his final years at Real Madrid either plagued with injury, on the bench or loan at Spurs - and the Welshman's agent has hinted that he a return to White Hart Lane could be on the cards.
