Gareth Bale says he expects to remain at Real Madrid next season, even though manager Carlo Ancelotti was dismissed by the club. The Welsh superstar issued this statement on Twitter: "Will be working hard in the off season and looking forward to coming back next season stronger with Real Madrid." He has been linked with a return to the Premier League but there were no official offers revealed so far.
Bale is still the world's most expensive player after being signed in a £85.3m deal from Tottenham in 2013. He managed to score 24 goals in 46 games during his opening season in Spain and won the Champions League and Copa del Rey with the Blancos. Things didn't go so well for him in the second season though, he was criticised by the Spanish media and also has been booed by some of the fans.
"Not the end of the season we had hoped for, we always want to win trophies!" added Bale after Real Madrid ended the season without any silverware. Wales manager Chris Coleman also expects Bale to stay at Real Madrid despite the reports linking him with Manchester United. "The Real Madrid president Florentino Perez thinks a lot of Gareth," said Coleman. "Unless Gareth wants to leave, which I don't think is the case, then I don't think he'll go anywhere. I don't think he wants to leave. It's arguably the biggest club on the planet. I don't really see him wanting to move, no."
Real Madrid are 2.50 at Bet365 to win the Primera Liga title next season.

Bale is overrated player but it's all business. He's a good player and one of the best and fastest players at his position . With him and Ronaldo Real will be the team with fast football. They will have more options for the strategy in the attack . A good player but not worth over $ 30m

I agree with Seculla about Bale. He is an overpaid player. In his first season he played very well, but this season has been very bad. My opinion is that Real should sell him. He is still a highly respected player in England, and he is very young. But Real was supposed to keep Di Maria.

I can't say that Gareth Bale is overrated player because I've seen some fantastic performances from him when he was back in Totenham.I think he never reached the level of his game in Real Madrid and maybe the reason is that Real have too many leaders on the field and even if this sounds stupid sometimes too many strong...
I can't say that Gareth Bale is overrated player because I've seen some fantastic performances from him when he was back in Totenham.I think he never reached the level of his game in Real Madrid and maybe the reason is that Real have too many leaders on the field and even if this sounds stupid sometimes too many strong characters at one place could disturb to each other. I don't know if this is the right move from him to stay in Real but they not going to let him to leave so easily after the huge amount they've had spent for him.

I agree with you seculla. Gareth Bale is great player, but only in small games. In big clash, he just disappear and show nothing. I think he is great player for team which will base their game plan on him. This two season, he was in Ronaldo shadow and he couldn't fighting it out with it. For him, best option is to go back...

For him, best option is to go back to Barclays Premier league. We will see what is going to happen with Bale.

If you ask me, Gereth Bale is so overrated footballer, and maybe the most of all in last couple of years. When you see the amount of money that Real Madrid payed to Tottenham to bring him in their squad, you'll see that he is even more overrated. Anyway, I think that Real Madrid should start over with creating their squad,...

We all know that every kids dream is to one day play in team such as Real Madrid. But in this case, my oppinion is, that Gareth Bale isn't getting enough respect and enough space on a field to show what hes capeable of. English football fits him much better then Spanish one, and being Ronaldo's shadow is another big thing...

English football fits him much better then Spanish one, and being Ronaldo's shadow is another big thing for a player like him. He is playmaker, and he should search for his luck somewhere else.
