Zinedine Zidane believes that Gareth Bale will not leave Real Madrid this upcoming winter.
Reports have surfaced in the Spanish media that G. Bale has started discussing his future with his agent. He was linked with a departure last summer, but remained and was a solid first-team player until his injury.
According to reports, G. Bale wants to leave the Spanish capital due to strained relationship with Z. Zidane. However, the manager immediately denied these rumors.
"I'm not sure he ever talked about leaving," Z. Zidane said in a press conference. "This season, he has already played quite a few matches."
"Our relationship is great. He works hard in training and is always with us when available. Right now he can't play due to injury. That's the whole story.
The main problem is that everyone has their own versions and tell different stories. The most important thing is that he is ready to play when healthy.
We're talking about a really good player, whose abilities everyone knows well. He can't play now, but you (the press) still try to create some stories about our relationship," added the Frenchman.
