MADRID: Gareth Bale’s agent has said the Wales international remains “100 per cent” committed to Real Madrid.

Bale has been persistently linked with a move away from the Bernabeu this season, having hinted at such a switch after last year’s Champions League final and following reports of a disconnect between the 29-year-old and his team-mates.

The former Tottenham foward played the full 90 minutes as Madrid were beaten 1-0 by Rayo Vallecano on Sunday but head coach Zinedine Zidane later questioned whether he and his other team-mates had been fully focused.

Bale’s agent Jonathan Barnett responded by telling BBC Wales Sport: “Gareth is 100 per cent committed to Real Madrid.”

Referring to his past assertion that Bale wanted to spend the rest of his career with Madrid, Barnett added: “Nothing has changed.”

Bale’s Madrid contract runs until 2022.
