Agent of Real Madrid attacker Bale cools Spurs return

The agent of Gareth Bale has ruled out a return to Tottenham.

Bale fell out of favour at Real Madrid under Zinedine Zidane and returned to Tottenham on loan, seven years after leaving the club.

It was an impressive stint in north London, scoring 11 league goals despite only starting 10 times, fuelling speculation as to whether he'd stay on for another year.

Agent Jonathan Barnett has confirmed that won't be the case, with one year left on his contract at Los Blancos.

"As I have said from the beginning, there is no option," said Barnett.

"Gareth has no agreements whatsoever. He is under contract to Real."
