Real Madrid head coach Rafael Benitez rules out Bale exit amid links with Manchester United

Rafa Benitez has warned potential suitors that Real Madrid won't entertain any offers for Gareth Bale.

The Welsh wizard endured a difficult season at the Bernabeu, but Benitez insists Bale is still a big part of his plans.

The Spaniard said: "He is a huge player for us, we will not talk about offers. I know he wants to play well and is happy."

However, United are reportedly refusing to give up their pursuit of Real Madrid star Gareth Bale.

The Red Devils are keen on signing the Welshman as a replacement for Angel Di Maria, who's on his way to PSG.

The club's new kit supplier, adidas, are also keen on a deal for Bale, who is sponsored by the sportswear company.

Madrid won't let Bale go for anything less than the £86m they paid for him two summers ago.
