Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale has refused to rule out joining Bayern Munich in the future.

The German giants are one of several clubs that the Wales international has been linked with of late, and he has described their reported interest as "an honour".

"You can never rule out anything in football," Bale told Bild when asked whether he would consider joining Bayern.

"Currently I play at Real Madrid and I enjoy that. Bayern have a fantastic squad and in the past they have always been one of the most successful clubs in Europe. It's an honour for everyone to be linked with this club. But as of now I am a Real Madrid player."

Bale, whose season has been hampered by injuries and manager Zinedine Zidane's big-game rotation system, has also been linked with Inter Milan and Manchester United.

Real travel to Bayern in the semi-finals of the Champions League this evening.
