Gareth Bale "has never wanted to leave Real Madrid" despite consistent "stupid" rumours about his future at the club, according to his agent, Jonathan Barnett.
The Welshman has been, on paper, a huge success at Real since joining from Tottenham Hotspur in 2013 for a then-world-record £85 million transfer fee.
He has won four UEFA Champions Leagues, a La Liga title and a Copa del Rey, and his goalscoring record currently stands at 75 in 142 league games.
However, almost every transfer window, reports emerge linking Bale with a move away from the Santiago Bernabeu.
