Getafe respond to Gareth Bale Tottenham transfer verdict with witty tweet as agent confirms move

Gareth Bale has reportedly decided where his future lays ahead of the upcoming transfer window after the 32-year-old confirmed that he will not retire. His decision to do so followed Wales' qualification for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, having previously considered hanging up his boots once his contract at Real Madrid expired.

According to widespread reports, it's believed that Los Blancos opted against renewing the Welshman's deal making him available via a free transfer in the summer. But, in a turn of events, Spanish journalist Arancha Rodríguez has claimed that Bale has no intention of leaving Madrid, with Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Getafe among the potential destinations.

The report adds that the forward has no preference as to which Madrid-based side he joins, though he does want a one-year contract. With the forward's future on the tip of everyone's tongue, Bale's agent Joshua Barnett quickly responded to the rumours.

Speaking to Fabrizio Romano, Barnett - in jest - sent a cheeky jibe to Getafe. He said: "I don’t even have the president of Getafe’s number."

Quick-wittingly, the Getafe social media team took to Twitter and answered Bale's agent. "Getafe, Getafe, Getafe. En ese orden," tweeted the Spanish side, which translates to 'Getafe, Getafe, Getafe. In that order'

The Getafe social media team referenced Bale's infamous 'Wales. Golf. Madrid - In That Order' banner photo following the country's qualification to the European Championships in November 2019. The act was initially in response to Zinedine Zidane, who had just resigned from the role after a season of shunning the forward from first-team minutes.
