Gareth Bale will be remembered as one of Real Madrid’s greatest players, according to his agent Jonathan Barnett.

Bale left Real Madrid as a free agent this summer after winning five Champions Leagues and three La Liga titles – but his final years at the club were controversial as he slipped down the pecking order while continuing to pocket lucrative wages. 

Asked how Bale would be remembered for his time in the Spanish capital, Barnett told Goal: “As one of Real Madrid’s great players.”

Bale’s agent also revealed how the forward was settling in at LAFC, adding: “He’s been wonderful. He’s loving it. It’s an extraordinary place to live and he’s really enjoying it.”

Barnett also downplayed the possibility of Bale retiring after the World Cup.

“People talk a lot about it and they don’t know anything. Let’s see what happens,” he said.

“We have the World Cup coming up and he will play the World Cup, he will win the World Cup… (laughs). We’ll see what happens after that. If he’s enjoying it, who knows?”
