Perez says Bale isn't going anywhere

Gareth Bale will "never leave" Real Madrid,
according to the La Liga club's president Florentino
Perez.
Welshman Bale, 25, joined Real from Tottenham for
£85.3m in 2013 and has been linked with a move
back to the Premier League with Manchester
United.
"We have not received an offer from Manchester or
any other club for Gareth Bale," Perez told Spanish
paper Marca.
"Just as I can't imagine Real Madrid without
Cristiano Ronaldo, I can't imagine Real without Bale
either."
Forward Bale scored in both the Champions League
and Copa del Rey finals, as he won a cup double in
his first season at the Spanish club, as well as
finishing third in La Liga, three points behind
champions Atletico Madrid.
"Bale is a key player. He has already done so much
for the team and is a key part of our club's future,"
added Perez.
"Every club knows that Gareth Bale will never leave
Real Madrid and that the club will not discuss their
star, no matter how much is offered."
With the January transfer window about to open,
United manager Louis van Gaal was recently asked
about the prospect of signing Bale.
"I cannot discuss that with you," the Dutchman
said. "I discuss that with my CEO and not with
anyone of the media."
