BALE SIGNS

Gareth Bale of Real Madrid has signed a new five years contract extending his stay at Madrid till 2022.

This new contract that he signed will make stay at Madrid till he hits 33 years.

He speaks, "Yeah, for sure. The reason I signed here for so long is because I'm very happy here.

"I feel more comfortable every year that I'm here as well. I'm improving my Spanish, my family's more settled. I fully intend to see out my contract here.

"Obviously in the future, I don't know when I'm going to retire, but I'm very happy here at the moment and for the next six years I'm not looking past that really."

United have long been linked with a move for Bale, even before the Welshman left Spurs to join Real in 2013 for a then-world record fee of £85.3million.

As recently as last month there was speculation of a possible attempt by the Red Devils to sign the flying forward, but Bale himself insists he knows nothing about any transfer talk.

He said: "I couldn't tell you if anyone's been interested. Since I've been here I've been fully concentrated on playing for Real Madrid.

"I'm very happy here which shows why I've signed another six-year deal and we never really speak about these things. If (United) have (shown an interest) they have, I don't know about it. The main thing for me is to concentrate on my football and everything else is dealt with behind the scenes."
