Real Madrid ace has no intention of returning to England

Real Madrid star Gareth Bale insists he is loving life in Spain and that he has no intention of returning to England this summer, reports Sky Sports. 

The Wales international has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United and reports suggest he could be shown the Bernabeu exit if Real Madrid were to sign Kylian Mbappe from Monaco. 

Mbappe has emerged as a top target for the European champions following a stunning breakthrough year in France as he played a key role in their Ligue 1 title win. 

Arsenal, Liverpool and PSG are also closely monitoring the teenage sensation, who earlier this year won his first France cap. 

The 18-year-old prefers a move to Real Madrid should he leave Monaco, however, but his potential arrival won’t impact Bale’s future in the Spanish capital. 

The 27-year-old’s season was hampered by injury as he made just 17 starts for Real Madrid, who wrestled their La Liga crown away from Barcelona. 

United boss Jose Mourinho is a bid admirer of the former Tottenham star and would gladly take him to Old Trafford should the opportunity arise. 

However, Bale is happy in Madrid, which should rule out any potential Premier League return this summer.
