Freshly-appointed Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti has dealt Tottenham Hotspur’s chances of re-signing Gareth Bale a potential blow, having admitted that he sees his future in Spain.
Carlo Ancelotti said: “Gareth has not played much in the Premier League, but he scored lots of goals, was very effective in recent games when he had a chance to play. He is coming back, I know him very well, he will be motivated to play better and have a great season, no doubt.”
Whilst Bale’s future seemingly looked like heading for the Real Madrid exit door, and still could considering that he has just one year remaining on his most recent deal, Ancelotti admitted that he will give the winger a chance to impress.
Carlo Ancelotti said: “I have a lot of love still for Gareth [Bale], Isco, Marcelo… they will have motivation to show they can still play for Real Madrid. With this squad, without loan players like Bale, Odegaard and Ceballos, Madrid reached UCL semis and fought for La Liga. So we have the players to win trophies.”
