  • Bale would love to remain in Spain since his family is settled there, but the player may need to move elsewhere

Spanish giants Atletico Madrid have rejected a move for Gareth Bale whose future remains unclear as he is set to finally depart Real Madrid.

Not even his rivals are interested in him in what could be another harsh blow to his professional career despite helping Los Blancos to three League titles.

Bale initially joined Real Madrid in 2013, but he has become an outcast in the Spanish capital as his No.11 shirt was even withdrawn and changed to No. 18 instead.

The forward had no intention of moving prematurely, but he is searching for another club as his current contract is set to expire.

Daily Star reports that his agent went ahead to offer him to Atletico, but the rival club have stated that they do not have the 32-year-old in their plans.

It was further gathered that the player prefers to remain in Spain where his family members are already settled, now he will be forced to move elsewhere or consider retiring.

Wales Online recalls that Madrid prepare to face Liverpool in the Champions League final this season, and four years ago when they met, Bale was the match-winner.

Ancelotti tells Real Madrid to give Bale a befitting send-off

Meanwhile, Carlo Ancelloti has rallied Real Madrid fans to give Gareth Bale a befitting send-off. Bale will be leaving the club at the end of the season on a free transfer.

The Welshman has enjoyed a highly successful but tumultuous period during his nine-year stay at Real Madrid. He has won four Champions League titles and three La Liga trophies with the Spanish giants.

Many will remember his heroic performance in 2018 final when he came off the bench to help Real Madrid beat Liverpool 3-1 in the final.

Hazard speaks on a possible return to Real Madrid

Sports Brief earlier reported that Eden Hazard has put a damper on a possible return to the Premier League after reiterating that he wants to stay at Real Madrid and “prove” himself.

This season, the Belgium international has made 23 appearances for Los Blancos across all competitions in what has been another underwhelming campaign for him.

He managed to start 11 matches in total but a leg break in January once again ruled him out long term.
