Real Madrid football club's president Florentino Perez has revealed that Welsh winger Gareth Bale would never leave the La Liga outfit despite being linked with a move back to the Premier League with Manchester United.
Perez revealed that they Real has not received an offer from United or any other club for Bale, who joined Real from Tottenham Hotspur for 85.3 million pounds in 2013.
Perez also said that just as he cannot imagine Real without Cristiano Ronaldo, he cannot imagine Real without Bale either, the BBC reported.
Bale scored in both the Champions League and Copa del Rey finals, as he won a cup double in his first season at Real, as well as finishing third in La Liga, three points behind champions Atletico Madrid.
Perez said that Bale is a key player, adding that the Welshman has already done so much for the team and is a key part of their club's future. He also claimed that every club knows that Bale would never leave Real and that the club would not discuss their star, no matter how much is offered.
