Gareth Bale's Agent, Jonathan Barnett, Rules Out Loan Move from Real Madrid
Gareth Bale's agent, Jonathan Barnett, has said he can "guarantee" the Welshman will not leave Real Madrid on loan this summer, nor will the player leave in any "makeshift" deal.
Bale's future at the Santiago Bernabeu looks in serious doubt after Zinedine Zidane said Real were working on moving him out of the club:

Barnett, though, has made it clear that any transfer will need to be permanent, per Sky Sports:
"There will be no makeshift deals to get him out of the club. Gareth is one of the best players on the planet. I can guarantee you he will not be going on loan to any club."
