Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale rules out Premier League return?

Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale allegedly has no intention of returning to the Premier League in the foreseeable future.

With Bale's future being a constant topic for debate over the past 12 months, the Wales international has naturally been linked with another spell in England's top flight.

Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur - one of Bale's former clubs - have been linked with an approach for the 30-year-old during the January window.

However, reports in Spain indicate that the attacker is not interested in returning to a league which involves frequent pressure from the media, instead preferring to move to a division which comes under less scrutiny.

While Real are said to be happy to part ways with Bale, it has been claimed that Los Blancos want to include him in a part-exchange deal for United midfielder Paul Pogba as they bid to avoid shelling out a large fee for the World Cup winner.

Bale still has over two-and-a-half years left on his contract at the Bernabeu.
