Gareth Bale’s agent Jonathan Barnett has confirmed that his client will be leaving Real Madrid - but failed to quash speculation over a potential retirement.
The 32-year-old’s recent Madrid nightmare is coming to an end and he will become a free agent at the end of the season. Despite winning every major honour during his time in the Spanish capital, he has remained a divisive figure and has fallen completely out of favour.
Bale spent last season on loan with Tottenham, before returning to Madrid with the hope of more regular playing time under his old boss Carlo Ancelotti. But he has played just five times in La Liga and less than 300 minutes in all competitions.
