Real Madrid president, Florentino Perez has put the rumors linking Gareth Bale with a Manchester United switch to rest, insisting no amount of money will be enough to see the Welsh superstar exit Santiago Bernabeu.
A year after signing Bale for a world record fee worth £85.3m, these comments by Perez comes as reports heavily suggest the Red Devils could be preparing a whopping £120 million bid for the former Tottenham attacker, with Dutch tactician Louis Van Gaal even hinting at a possible move for the 24-year-old.
Despite claims from the player himself that he is happy at Real Madrid, some rumors have gone as far as to state that Los Blancos could be willing to let Bale leave the Spanish capital for Manchester United in a swap deal for in-form goalkeeper David De Gea.
"Bale is not for sale and we will never listen to any offers for him. I cannot imagine Real Madrid without Cristiano Ronaldo, nor Gareth Bale. This is a unique player who has already given us a lot and is crucial to the future of the club," Perez affirmed.
