Gareth Bale is ready to stay and play for Real Madrid this season.
After a year away on-loan with Tottenham, Bale returned last weekend to begin his preseason campaign.
The Wales captain has a year left on his current contract and has told friends he intends to stay and play for coach Carlo Ancelotti.
A member of his entourage declared to AS that Bale was "sure" of staying with Real this season.
The 32 year-old hopes to play regularly with Real ahead of leading Wales at next summer's World Cup.
