Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale is set to stay at the club despite ongoing transfer rumours, according to Sky Sports' Spanish football expert Guillem Balague.
"Bale is somebody now that just needs to be continuously playing," Balague told Sky Sports News.
"Hopefully not being affected by injuries, actually if the goals come and the assists come and his presence is important, especially in the Champions League - remember that's the main target this season now - I don't think he will go anywhere.
"But, of course, that is not guaranteed for as long as we don't see a Gareth Bale with the same kind of stats we have seen in previous years - there will be a lot of rumours suggesting Real Madrid want to let him go or he wants to go.
"What I'm getting from his entourage is that there is no intention for Gareth Bale to leave Real Madrid."
