The Real Madrid ace is reportedly wanted by both Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United.

According to the Sun, Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez is keen for reported Tottenham and Manchester United target Gareth Bale to remain at the Santiago Bernabeu this summer, amidst rumours linking him with an exit from the club.

The 28-year-old has really struggled for both form and game-time in the Spanish capital this season, and has made just 17 La Liga starts, although he has still managed to score 12 league goals.

Spanish media outlet Diario Gol claims that both Spurs and the Red Devils are interested in signing the Wales international this summer.

Another Spanish publication, this time well-known gossip mongers Don Balon, claims that Bale could be sold for around €70 million (£61 million).

The Sun report that Perez has poured cold water on talk regarding a switch to the Premier League for the former Tottenham ace, however.

Much will depend on whether Zinedine Zidane pictures a future with Bale involved in his plans, but Perez’s sway is such that if he truly wants the Welshman to remain in Madrid, that is what will surely happen.
