Gareth Bale's Agent Confirms He Isn't 'Ecstatic' to Be at Real Madrid Amid Transfer Rumours
Gareth Bale's agent has revealed that the winger is 'not ecstatic' to
be playing for Real Madrid but admitted there is no guarantee that he
will be leaving the club in January.
Bale has had a strained relationship with the Los Blancos
hierarchy for a number of years, with a move to Chinese side
Jiangsu Suning falling through at the eleventh hour in the summer.
The 30-year-old fanned the flames of supporter discord at Santiago
Bernabeu by posing in front of a banner that read: ' Wales. Golf.
Madrid - in that order ', after his Welsh team secured their place at
Euro 2020 last month.
Gareth Bale "is not ecstatic" at Real Madrid, but there's "no guarantee"
he will leave.
The move led to significant criticism from pundits and fans , with
Bale being booed by the Real faithful in recent weeks, fuelling
speculation that a return to the Premier League with Tottenham or
Manchester United could be on the cards.
When asked about his client's morale at the club the 30-year-
old's agent, Jonathan Barnett, confirmed that the forward was not
entirely happy.
"He's not ecstatic," Barnett confirmed during an appearance on the
Euro Leagues Podcast, as reported by BBC Sport.
Despite this, the agent also claimed that Bale would continue to
perform to his maximum for as long as he is a Los Blancos player.
"He has got a contract and as long as he is a Real Madrid player he
will play at 100% - and do very well. He wants to win the
championship and the European championship and everything else.
It will not affect his performance.
"The facts and figures prove if he is on the field for Real Madrid they
have a better chance of winning," Barnett stated.
Despite his client's displeasure, Bale's representative refused to
confirm whether the player would be departing Santiago Bernabeu in
the near future.
"There's no guarantee he is leaving. If the right opportunity came
along for him and it's something he wants to do we have to have a
chat with the president of Real Madrid and see where we are,"
Barnett added.
