Ronaldo joined Italian champions Juventus on a four-year contract for 100 million euros ($157.38 million AUD) earlier this month, signalling the end of nine years in Madrid.
Lopetegui was keen to stress that the Portuguese’s departure represented a “fantastic opportunity” for Bale, who has been linked by Spanish media with a move away from the club, to stay and show his talent.
“I don’t walk to talk about hypothetical situations,” Lopetegui said, dismissing reports of Bale’s possible return to the Premier League with United and his former team Tottenham Hotspur possible destinations.
“If this is the squad I have at start of season I’ll be a happy man… he (Bale) is with the team. He’s happy and aligned with our goals. It is the start of an exciting path for us.”
