Agent of Gareth Bale dismisses transfer speculation

Gareth Bale's agent has dismissed speculation that his client is hoping to return to the Premier League in the near future.

Despite playing a key role in Carlo Ancelotti's side since joining from Spurs in 2013, the Welsh winger has been linked with the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United in recent weeks.

Reports in Spain suggested that Bale could be included in a swap deal which would see United's Angel di Maria return to Madrid, but the 25-year-old's representative insists there is no truth in those claims.

"It is not true that Gareth wants to return to the Premier League," David Manasseh told Calciomercato. "Everything is going well for him at Madrid and he wants to continue to wear the Real Madrid jersey.

"These rumours about a swap with United are absolute rubbish."

Bale has scored 28 goals in 58 appearances for Madrid in all competitions.
