“What do they want to put Bale on the bench with that salary? By me, that's fine.”

Jonathan Barnett, Gareth Bale's agent, publicly ruled out a possible promising future for the Welshman back at Real Madrid. The Stellar Group agent gave an interview to the SNTV agency in which he talks about his situation with the white team.

“I have many doubts about whether he has a future at Real Madrid. He still has a year left on his contract, if they want to leave him on the bench … Okay. If they want to give me that salary for leaving him on the bench, for me, that's fine, “says the agent. Almost ruled out his future at Real Madrid as a star, he also spoke about a possible return to White Hart Lane on loan for next season A plan reported by the English press that the Spurs have in mind, according to which Daniel Levy will offer him the option of recruiting Bale to the next coach they sign to replace Ryan Mason, the current interim coach after Mourinho's departure. “It is a discussion between the three parties: we (Bale and him), Real Madrid and Tottenham. We have our points of view and we will let you know at the right time, “he said.

Gareth Bale left on loan in the summer transfer period of this 20/21. The Welshman, who hardly counted for Zidane, returned to Tottenham where Jose Mourinho was waiting for him. He and the Portuguese had already had their 'contacts' when he was at United and wanted him for his project. Now, he came to London like a prodigal son, but nothing went as they both expected. Bale did not end up having such a leading role with the Portuguese coach as he wanted. Barnett was asked and shed light on the player's situation, in which he assures that Bale “had a bad time” while he coincided with Mourinho.

The big problem for Barnett was an error of approach on the part of Tottenham. He, he assures, has already warned them what was the best way to treat his player and for him to offer his best performance. “I told Tottenham from the beginning: 'If you give him games, you show him confidence, you let him play his way, you don't tell him to do this or that. Treat him like Messi or Cristiano. What is not as good as them? You will see.' It is proven that every time they let him work like this, he has given up and scored a lot of goals. He is a world class player. That has been the big mistake, but I'm not going to blame anyone, “he said, diverting the focus from Jose Mourinho.

The question about the Portuguese and the guilt in the performance appeared, and more after the last statements of the Welshman about the new plans of Mason compared to those of the coach of Setúbal. “I wouldn't blame him. He is a very successful coach … but Julius Caesar was also very good and now I don't think he would have much success leading armies. “He gave his opinion on the former coach of his client, now hired by Roma for the next campaign.

Since the arrival of Ryan Mason, Bale has started three Premier League games, leaving four goals and improving his performance. He made Southampton a winner and Sheffield a hat-trick. This weekend he was left without a goal against Leeds (3-1 loss) although he was a starter. Their only substitution was against City in the Carabao Cup final, in which they were defeated 1-0, ending the only option for the much-desired title in North London. For Barnett, Bale is showing these weeks that “he is still one of the best players in the world”, although he regrets the little margin that the calendar already leaves just when it has continuity. “He only has four games left, we will have to see what happens,” he added regarding his future in London.

No rush, but with top offers for Camavinga

Eduardo Camavinga is another of the players that Barnett has in his portfolio and that also interest Real Madrid. The current Rennes midfielder is on the Whites' radar as a good young option to reinforce his midfield with the immovable Casemiro, Kroos and Modric. But the whites are not the only ones interested since PSG, which considers it a priority, and several clubs in England also move for him.

The Frenchman has not renewed and could leave this summer upon payment to the Breton club or the next one for free. Still, Barnett didn't want to rush or clarify the Frenchman's future. “Camavinga is probably the best young player in the world and he just turned 18 years old. He is younger than many others, he has already been international with France, he has messed with the national team without being a scorer. ANDHe's an incredible talent who could play for any team in the world. I think a transfer could be given to a Champions League club. It's good enough, but we don't want to rush it, “says the agent.

“I am an older man and I have learned a lot about football. There is a time when it is right to move. Playing is the most important thing at this age. Playing for a good team is great and you have to find the right one for him and for what. learn. So it could be that this season or that he wants to stay another year. We have to talk to him, to his family, to his father. Sit down, talk and decide. We are not in a hurry with him. He will be a great talent when he is 19. He is not old at 19 … And trust me, we have a ton of specials for him this summer. And good. Of top clubs “He added about its future, which is not yet clear when it will be resolved.
