Real Madrid star Gareth Bale admits he's happy to keep to himself.

Bale was at the centre of transfer speculation in the summer, but ended up staying with Los Blancos, and though out through injury at the moment, the Welshman has one idea about what he will do when he retires.

"[I'll be] on a golf course," Bale told the Telegraph. "I haven't thought about retirement too much, but I'm 30 and you have to turn your attention to it.

"I'm trying to set things up so I have things to do, rather than just sitting on my sofa."

Though he doesn't look at press reports regarding his situation in Spain or his form on the pitch, he does keep up to date with some aspects of modern life, Brexit being one.

"I look in terms of stuff financially, because [Brexit] affects me in a certain way for investments or money," Bale continued, "because things change, but I don't read most of the nonsense.

"I genuinely don't know 99 percent of Brexit. I don't even know who the prime minister is anymore. I haven't got a clue.

"I can't have a say in it so I'm not interested. I follow the golf, that's about it. I can tell you who's number one in the world?

"[I] feel very happy living here [In Madrid], the lifestyle, culture, food, weather... my family's very settled."
