Gareth Bale should stay at Real Madrid and forget about returning to the Premier League says his international manager Chris Coleman . Bale 's future has been the subject of much debate since Real fans began booing the world 's most expensive player at the Bernabeu , while the Madrid media have accused him of being 'lazy ' and a 'ball hog ' in trying to shoot for goal rather than pass to colleagues . Team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo has also shown his displeasure over the Welshman 's supposed selfishness and the Portuguese forward reacted petulantly when Bale scored last weekend - his double in a 2-0 win over Levante as he netted his first goals in 10 games .

Bale responded to his first goal by covering his ears with his hands - seen as a sign that he was not listening to the criticism - and kicking the corner flag , and it has led to fevered speculation that he could return home to the Barclays Premier League this summer . Jose Mourinho 's Chelsea have been linked with bringing the former Tottenham player back to London and it has been suggested that Manchester United could swap him for their Madrid-born goalkeeper David de Gea . But Wales manager Coleman said : 'He should stay where he is . 'Chelsea are a huge club and have been successful as are Manchester United - but Real Madrid is Real Madrid . 'Gareth 's good enough to win the big trophies , play on the big stage and play with the biggest club . Bale kicks the corner flag as he celebrates his goal at the Santiago Bernabeu . 'It is different from Manchester United or Chelsea because while there is pressure on them to perform in every game , at Madrid it is almost like a show and there has to be entertainment . 'You have to be one of the best to play for them and , in my opinion , Gareth is good enough to win trophies and entertain at Real Madrid at the highest level . ' Despite Bale 's difficult start to 2015 , Coleman insists his talismanic forward is in good spirits ahead of Wales ' table-topping Euro 2016 qualifier in Israel on Saturday week . Surprise front-runners Israel have won their opening three matches but Wales are unbeaten after four games and have taken points off the top two seeds , Bosnia-Herzegovina and Belgium . ' I spoke to his agent three days ago , he is absolutely fine and there are no problems , ' Coleman said . Wales manager Chris Coleman has urged Bale to stay at Real Madrid and forget a Premier League return . 'Baley is the most expensive player in the world and there is politics to all this . 'He 's been caught up in a bit of a storm but , knowing Gareth as I do , I 'd be really surprised if he said , ' I 've had enough , I 'm not accepting that and I 'm coming home ' . 'Everyone has good and bad periods and you just have to get through it and , saying that , he scored a couple of goals at the weekend . ' But Coleman admits that he has been taken aback by nature of the criticism aimed at the 25-year-old from Cardiff . 'It 's just not people venting their anger . some of the attacks have been quite personal , ' Coleman said . 'You ca n't say Madrid have lost two or three games because of Gareth . VIDEO Bale double silences critics . Bale falls down during the match between Real Madrid and Levante in the Spanish capital on Sunday . 'That 's not the truth , but he has been personally attacked . ' I do n't know what the future will be for him , but all I can say is when he comes with us then it 's not a problem . 'He works hard for us and fits into the system whether we play him down the middle or wide , as a nine or a 10 . 'We may go to Haifa next week and he has a bad game , but he can still score us a goal that will win us the game out of nothing . 'The pressure is on but he has shown he can handle that in big games . 'He likes being in that environment where there is everything on it and he deserves to play in a major tournament . '
