Gareth Bale intends to return to Real Madrid once his loan concludes at Tottenham Hotspur after the season.

"It's [future] no distraction for me coming into the Euros," Bale told a news conference on Tuesday ahead of Wales' opening 2022 World Cup qualifier in Belgium.

"I think the main reason I came to Spurs this year was to play football first and foremost but going into the Euros, I want to be match-fit.

"The original plan was to do a season at Spurs and after the Euros still have a year left at Real Madrid. My plan is to go back and that's as far I've planned to be honest."

Juventus has signed Weston McKennie from Schalke on a permanent deal.

The transfer was confirmed Wednesday with the payments to Schalke split over three years.

McKennie has excelled in Turin this season, contributing four goals and two assists across 21 appearances in Serie A, while also playing for Juve in the Champions League and Coppa Italia.
