Barnett reveals Bale's plans under Zidane

It will be customary in the coming weeks to talk about almost every player in Real Madrid's current squad and question whether they have a future under Zidane. Without a doubt, the case of Gareth Bale will be one of the most dicussed.

His performances have not been convincing this season, and recent reports have suggested Bale does not get along with the incoming manager. However, 'AS' has assured that nothing has changed with regards to whether the Welshman will stay at the club, and that he wants to stay in Madrid and triumph. In any case, Premier League clubs are said to be interested in Bale, and a move back to England seems possible.

Barnett's comments to 'AS' are not the first time he has come to the player's defence. Last week he made a staunch attack of Bale, saying that Real Madrid's fans should be 'bowing at his feet'.
