Gareth Bale's agent denies interest from Bayern Munich

The agent of Gareth Bale has dismissed speculation linking the Real Madrid forward with a summer switch to Bayern Munich.

Bale has been made available for transfer by head coach Zinedine Zidane, although Real face a battle to get the Wales international off their wage bill before the end of the transfer window.

A report has claimed that Bayern are interested in signing Bale on a two-year loan deal, like they did with fellow Real attacker James Rodriguez in 2017.

However, ESPN quotes the 29-year-old's representative Jonathan Barrett as saying that any suggestions of an imminent move to the Bundesliga champions are "rubbish".

Bale still has three years remaining on his contract, leaving Real in a position where they may need to find a compromise with any interested clubs.
