Gareth Bale has refused to rule out retiring after Euro2020.
The Real Madrid winger has just completed a season on loan at Tottenham.
But the 31-year-old insists is solely focused on captaining Wales at this summer's European Championships.
Asked by The Sun if he was considering retirement, Bale said: "Obviously there's been a lot of things written about whether I'm doing this and doing that.
"For me, the main thing is I don't want to say anything that's going to cause more chaos or more drama or cause a distraction.
"I just want to focus on this Euros.
"I don't want to say anything that is going to cause any problems on what I am doing or what I am not doing. My focus is just on the Euros.
"When the Euros finishes for us then I will sit down and decide what I want to do.
"I want to give everything into this Euros and put in everything I can like we do in every single game.
"If I say something then it's just going to cause even more chaos so there's no point.
"Now is the time to solely focus on the Euros and I don't want to be thinking about other things I have said in the past.
"All the team are just focusing on preparing correctly and being ready for the first game against Switzerland which will be massive for us."
