Gareth Bale 'is NOT part of Real Madrid's plans for next season and club are keen to cash in on him to fund moves for new players'... despite Wales star insisting he will return to Spain after his Tottenham loan ends

Gareth Bale is not wanted by Real Madrid next season and the club are looking to move him on this summer, according to reports in Spain.

The 31-year-old Welshman caused a storm earlier this week when he announced his plan to return to Spain once his loan deal with Tottenham comes to an end in June, stating he had only planned to stay a year in north London.

His agent Jonathan Barnett later claimed his client's comments were 'taken completely out of context' and added it was 'too early' to draw conclusions about where the Wales forward would be plying his trade in club football in 2021-22.
