Bale expected to stay with Real Madrid
Gareth Bale is expected to stay at Real Madrid for the new season, according to AS.
The former Tottenham Hotspur attacker cast doubt over his Madrid future after helping them with two goals to defeat Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League final in May.
However, the departure of Ronaldo has changed things for Bale because they may need him more now.
The change in manager from Zinedine Zidane to Julen Lopetegui could drastically change the Welshman's fate at the European giants.
Under Zidane, he played 26 La Liga games last season, with six of those coming as a substitute, prompting him to doubt his future with Real Madrid.
Manchester United have also been linked with Gareth Bale, but it is looking highly unlikely that a move will occur.
Madrid are also in the hunt of Eden Hazard, and if the move is completed with Bale in the side, Real Madrid will have a very potent attack despite the departure of Ronaldo.
