Real Madrid player Gareth Bale's agent, Jonathan Barnett, confirmed that the Welsh striker will not leave the club despite not participating regularly in the recent period with the title holder "La Liga".

"Bill is fine. He has two years left in his contract, and he loves to stay in Madrid, and he will not leave," Barnett told the BBC.

Barnett confirmed that Bell's participation with Real depended on the opinion of coach Zinedine Zidane, but said: "He is still as good as any other player on the team."

He added: "Of course he received offers, but it is difficult for any club in the world to pay his salary. It is unfortunate that he is not participating with Real Madrid at the moment, but he will not leave."
