Wales boss Ryan Giggs said he is "really pleased" that Gareth Bale is set to stay at Real Madrid this season.
Bale almost joined Chinese Super League side Jiangsu Suning earlier in the summer after Real boss Zinedine Zidane said it would be best for him to leave the club, only for the Spanish club to pull out of the deal.
Per Goal's Chris Burton, Giggs said:
"I kept in touch with him, not every day but just to see if he was all right. It's obviously positive at the moment.
