‘You can never rule out anything in football,’ Bale told the German newspaper Bild. ‘Currently, I play football at Real Madrid and I enjoy that.

‘Bayern have a fantastic squad and already in the past they have always been one of the most successful clubs in Europe.

‘It’s an honour for everyone to be linked with this club. But as of now I am a Real Madrid player.’

Bale has four years left on his current contract at Real.

He has scored 12 goals and provided four assists in 27 La Liga and Champions League appearances this season.
