Gareth Bale could opt to stay at Real Madrid and outlast Zinedine Zidane at the club, says The Transfer Show's Dharmesh Sheth.
Bale looked to be set for a move to Chinese Super League side Jiangsu Suning, but the deal fell through.
"I'm just wondering whether Gareth Bale is now looking at it and thinking that he's going to stay at Real Madrid, he's still under contract, the average tenure of a Real Madrid manager is 18 months," he told The Transfer Show.
"Does he think that he could outlast Zinedine Zidane for a second time?
"He's done it once before, can he do it again? Don't rule out Gareth Bale staying, biding his time, seeing how it goes at Real Madrid, and then moving on."
EVERTON 'DENY' SECOND ZAHA BID
Everton have responded to reports earlier that they had made a second bid to Crystal Palace for Wilfried Zaha.
According to Sky sources, the Merseyside club have offered £55m plus forward Cenk Tosun and midfielder James McCarthy, after they made a £55m cash-only bid, which was rejected.

"Everton and Crystal Palace have a very good relationship. A bid was made over the weekend which was turned down. Both Clubs agreed that was the end of the matter."

The Belgian international also posted a photo on Instagram with his agent, with the caption 'Soon to be continued'.
"We made an important bid to Man United for Lukaku (£54m) but Man United ask so much for Romelu.
"We didn't find an agreement but we're still working for Lukaku. I don't know what will happen on next days, football is so strange. We have made a fair and important offer respecting the value of the player."
CARLISLE BRING IN DUO

'IT WON'T BE ENOUGH TO CONVINCE PALACE TO SELL'
SSN reporter Kaveh Solhekol tells us whether Everton are likely to succeed with their latest bid to sign Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha.
"I'm not sure that this will be enough to convince Crystal Palace to sell because they have kept to the line all summer that Zaha is not for sale.
"Secondly, if he was to leave, it would take something close to £80m for that to happen.
"And Zaha himself really had his heart set on a move to Arsenal, but that does not look like it is going to happen. So time is really running out and as far as Palace are concerned, they do not want to sell Zaha and then not have time to sign a replacement.
"But they are being put under pressure by Everton and we know Palace have been interested in signing McCarthy, so he is a player who is of interest to them. We were told they had made a bid for him a couple of weeks ago.
"Tosun as well is an interesting case - Palace were interested in signing him before Everton signed him, so it is not two wildcard players who Palace have no interest in."
BEES CLOSE IN ON VALENCIA
Brentford are closing in on the signing of Ecuadorean forward Joel Valencia, according to Sky sources.
The club are in advanced discussions with the 24-year-old’s current club - Polish top-flight side Piast Gliwice.
