Sunderland boss Chris Coleman believes Gareth Bale will leave Real Madrid for "another big club".
Bale could be on the move from Madrid this summer, with Manchester United, Tottenham and Inter Milan being linked with the Welshman.
And former Wales coach Coleman said: "He is who he is, Real Madrid is what it is and there are comings and goings all the time.
"If you work so hard to get to a stage in your career where you are seen as one of the best players and you are playing for one of the biggest clubs, it is not a place you want to leave, imagine, where can you go?
"There is no bigger place, so if you leave Madrid, it will have to be another big club..."
