Gareth Bale will not be moved. In fact, the club's plans for the near future hinge on him. Though the Bernabéu higher-ups acknowledge that he isn't getting the most out of his ability right now, they already consider the Welshman a key figure and feel he can play an even bigger role further down the line. He was a Florentino Pérez signing and no one at the club will so much as entertain offers for him. On top of this, the forward himself has no intention of leaving.
Whatever the debates over Bale's all-round contribution, his continued struggles to adapt to Spanish culture - especially because of the language - and whether he is being used in the right position, there is no doubt that the former Tottenham man is staying put.
Real believe that the €90 million shelled out on Bale in the 2013 summer transfer window has already been shown to be good value, and that the 25-year-old still has the potential to improve in a big way. The most optimistic voices at the Bernabéu, Florentino among them, view the Welsh wizard as a good bet to win the Ballon d'Or one day.
Recent reports in the British press concerning interest in Bale - with a €153-million bid allegedly in the pipeline - have been widely picked up in Spain. However, the reaction among the 'Los Blancos' suits could not have been more resounding: "If there is one player that no offers will be listened to for, that's Bale.
