In January, Daily Mirror reported that Bayern were interested in Bale, and the rumors have intensified further after Bale's agency, Stellar, recently opened an office in München to be able to focus more on Germany.
When asked about the matter, Bale says that he is flattered, but he also underlines that he's focused on his duties at Real Madrid for now.
"In football, you can never say never. At the moment, I play football in Madrid and enjoy it. FC Bayern have a fantastic team and have also in the past been one of the most succesful clubs in Europe. Being linked with this club would be an honor for everybody. But right now, I'm a Real Madrid player," he told Sport-Bild.
The 28-year-old joined Real Madrid from Tottenham for a whopping €101 million in 2013. Since then, he has appeared 183 times and scored 81 goals for the club.
