Man Utd, Chelsea target Bale to stay with Real Madrid as De Gea waits for Casillas move

Gareth Bale is expected to remain with Real Madrid this summer as David De Gea continues to ponder a possible shift to the Spanish giants.

Spanish football expert Guillem Balague was speaking of potential transfers from players in Spain's La Liga on Sky Sports' 'Revista de la Liga' on Tuesday when he was asked about Bale and De Gea.

Welsh winger Bale has been heavily linked with Manchester United, as well as champions Chelsea, while United goalkeeper De Gea is a target for Bale's Real.

Speaking of the possible summer moves, Balague insisted that former Tottenham star Bale was going nowhere while suggesting that Spanish gloveman De Gea was waiting to see what Real veteran Iker Casillas decided before making his call.

"Gareth Bale is definitely staying at Real Madrid, while De Gea is the more mysterious one," said Balague.

"He wants to see what Casillas is doing - Real Madrid is trying to push Casillas out and Manchester United is putting a massive offer on the table, so no decision made there yet."
