It looks like controversial Welshman, Gareth Bale, won\u2019t be returning to the Premier League after all until 2022 at the very earliest, after making known his decision to stay at Real Madrid until his contract expires in Spain. That\u2019s according to a report in The Mirror, claiming Bale has decided he wants to see out the remainder of his contract despite the prospects of not playing as he reportedly has no future under Zinedine Zidane at the Bernabeu after he burned all bridges at the club after having told Zidane he didn\u2019t want to play in the Champions League clash against Manchester City.<\/p>\n
Left behind in Madrid, the recalcitrant Welshman was then spotted playing golf just hours before kick-off, leaving Real Madrid fans enraged.<\/p>\n
Bale had been expected to leave Madrid in the summer transfer window, with\u00a0a return\u00a0to the Premier League supposedly on the cards but it now appears he harbors no intention of returning and playing in the Premier League, and has opted instead to stay in Spain with The Mirror claiming that Bale is quite comfortable in the Spanish capital and won\u2019t be planning to leave this summer.<\/p>\n
Bale\u2019s contract runs until 2022, and his reported astronomical wages of \u00a3600,000-per-week pre-tax putting off many teams in England, or even the rest of Europe, from making any realistic offers for him.<\/p>\n
