The Daily Telegraph claims Madrid and Bale’s camp are discussing a new contract longer than the three years remaining on his existing terms that would pay £298,000, around €362,000.
Madrid would like the deal agreed in the next few weeks as they want to send a message to interested parties that the Wales international will not be leaving Santiago Bernabeu, Manchester United are known to be admirers of the former Tottenham Hotspur winger.
United looked into a move last summer when Louis van Gaal was employed as manager but Bale never considered a return to the Premier League as he is settled where he is, and the terms of his new Madrid contract mean he could stay in La Liga for the rest of his career.
