After spending last season on loan at Tottenham, Bale said talking about his next domestic destination would only cause "chaos".
"Everyone just seems to make up stories when they want. They make up some wild things. I never planned to finish," Bale said. "I just wanted to concentrate on the Euros and didn't want to explain myself. I didn't feel like I needed to. I still don't feel like I need to.
"No matter what I said I was going to do, whether I was going to stay, leave, retire or whatever, I think it would have caused a big, annoying and distracting story. For me it was better not to say anything and concentrate on the job in hand. Of course I want to play in a World Cup for Wales, not just for myself but for the country as a whole. I think it would be an incredible experience for the nation. We're fully focused on trying to do that."
