Gareth Bale will sit down for talks with Real Madrid to determine his future this summer after confirming he is 'legally' obliged to return there when his Tottenham loan expires.
The Wales star, 31, clarified his present situation on Monday while on international duty after comments last week that he 'is only doing a season at Spurs' caused a stir.
Bale said he wasn't being 'disrespectful' with the remarks because he still has one year remaining on his enormous £600,000-a-week contract with the Spanish club.
However, he has hinted that returning to Real doesn't necessarily mean he will play for them again amid reports he doesn't feature in their plans for next season.
