Real Madrid's Gareth Bale will reportedly not make a decision on his future until after Wales' World Cup 2022 playoff final in June.

Real Madrid attacker Gareth Bale is not prepared to make a decision on his future until after Wales' World Cup 2022 playoff final, according to his agent.

The Wales international has been nothing more than a bit-part player for Los Blancos this term but sent his nation through to the playoff final with both goals in a 2-1 win over Austria on Thursday night.

Robert Page's side will meet either Scotland or Ukraine for a chance to book their place at the Qatar World Cup, although the encounter is not due to take place until June.

Bale's agent Jonathan Barnett has now insisted that any discussions will take place in the summer months, telling the Daily Mail: "We have had a lot of interest in him but we have not done anything. After June we will discuss what we want to do.

"I have been saying for years he is one of Britain's greatest, most successful sports stars. If he hasn't had the credit he deserves, it's because he doesn't speak much publicly. He is a quiet lad but I don't understand why he hasn't been treated better."

Bale has a solitary goal from five appearances in a Real Madrid shirt this season, and his contract at the Bernabeu is set to expire at the end of the season.
