Gareth Bale is planning to leave Real Madrid this summer - though not the LaLiga.

The Wales captain is off contract in June and won't be offered new terms by Real.

A move within the LaLiga is now being considered, with El Chiringuito's Juanfe Sanz reporting: "One of his options is that of retirement, but there is a World Cup ahead and Wales has to play a phase to qualify.

"Gareth Bale, as we know, is in love with the Spanish climate and golf, and he is considering staying in Spain next season to play in the LaLiga.

"It would not be at Real Madrid.

"I'm not authorised to say the name of the clubs, but you don't have to think about it too much to find out which clubs Bale could play for.

"They don't rule out either FC Barcelona or Atlético de Madrid.

"There is another possibility, which is the one that the footballer likes least, which is to leave Spain."
