'If he's playing tomorrow then I wouldn't think of that [signing Bale],' Mourinho said in Macedonia.
'If he's playing tomorrow it's because he's in the club's plans. He has that ambition to continue in Madrid.
'I haven't even thought about the possibility. If he's not in the club plans - that what you are writing is true - with the arrival of another player, then we'll try to wait for him on the other side and fight with other coaches.'

SIMON JONES: Burnley are discussing a potential move for Colombia international Duvan Zapata.
The 26-year-old Napoli striker has spent the last two seasons on loan at Udinese in Serie A and has scored 19 goals.

Zapata saw a move to West Ham fall through in 2013 prior to moving to Italy.

West Ham, Everton and Watford have made enquiries but Burnley are reluctant to sell the 26-year-old.

Barcelona's £72m bid for Coutinho was rejected over two weeks ago and they are yet to increase their opening offer.

SAMI MOKBEL: Antonio Conte snapped on Sunday after he was quizzed about Chelsea's transfer business as his team slumped to a successive Wembley loss to Arsenal.
Chelsea have splashed close to £150million on four new players this summer: Alvaro Morata, Antonio Rudiger, Tiemoue Bakayoko and Willy Caballero.
Yet, Conte wants further reinforcements through the door, particularly given his side play in the Champions League this season.
When he was questioned about transfers following Sunday's defeat; Conte provided an indicatively frosty answer.
He said: 'I have always replied to this question. I hope in the future to have different questions, than if there is necessity to improve our squad.
'I have replied. My reply is always (this) one, otherwise it means I was telling you a lie. I repeat always the same.'
Chelsea boss Antonio Conte was not happy when asked about transfers
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is satisfied with his current defensive options and believes there are few centre backs in the transfer market who could improve his current squad ahead of the Premier League season.
Liverpool were hoping to add Virgil van Dijk from Southampton but withdrew their interest in the Dutch centre back after Saints accused them of making an illegal approach.
'Look out there and tell me five that would make us stronger. Five. Then you win a prize. It's difficult how it is,' Klopp said.
'We have four. I don't think we need more. We cannot force the things and we would never get a centre back just because (of the sake of it).'

Milan prised the £35million defender from the Italian champions during a summer spending spree which has seen them recruit a staggering 10 players so far this window.
But it turns out, Bonucci was never a target for the Milan club. That was until Mirabelli realised the player's agent, Alessandro Lucci, persistently brought up his star client during meetings.
