Gareth Bale looks increasingly likely to continue his Real Madrid adventure for at least another 12-months.

The Welsh superstar has been considering, and that has kept long-term suitors Manchester United on their toes.

However, with Cristiano Ronaldo already departed – Bale looks set to be one of the corner-stones of Real under new coach Julen Lopetegui, who replaced Zinedine Zidance as boss earlier this summer.

The 29-year-old has four-years left on his current deal and is a big favourite of president Florentino Perez, and now he looks set to stay at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Bookmakers are firmly in the camp that Bale will be staying put, PaddyPower now rate Bale at 1/7 to stay at Real Madrid.
