Goodbye, Gareth
Real Madrid winger, Gareth Bale, will most likely leave the team in the end of the current season. The Spanish newspaper As reports that referring to a full carte-blanche, received by Zinedine Zidane after his return to Santiago Bernabeu this month.
The Welsh winger Gareth Bale moved to Real in 2013, having become the most expensive footballer. Los Blancos paid for the Tottenham player for then record 100 million euros; however, looking through a six-year prism of time, the transfer did not pay off. Bale did not show stability, expected from him by the fans and the coaching staff. During that time, the attacking midfielder was remembered only for a goal in Barcelona’s net after a slalom breakthrough and bicicleta in the Champions League final against Liverpool.
After Zinedine Zidane’s arrival to Real in 2016 Bale secured himself a place on the bench, when the Frenchman gave a place to young Asensio and Vazquez. Having returned to Santiago Bernabeu, Zidane first of all insisted on the sole conduct of transfer campaign. One of the first steps was Bale’s sale, as reported by As.
The Real President, Florentino Perez is going to get a large sum for the player to cover Zizou’s demands. The Frenchman is aiming at Neymar and Mbappe from PSG. Eden Hazard is also in Los BLancos’ short list for the summer transfer window, who wants to move to Santiago Berneabeu for a long time.
For now, the contenders for Bale are the same – Bayern and Manchester United. In one of the latest materials we discussed than Man Utd do not need Bale anymore and Solskjaer will rejuvenate the squad and not pick whatever sits bad on the bench. The Welshman has played in 22 matches of La Liga this season, having scored eight goals and making two assists. However, Zidane will sell him despite the results in a conclusive part of the championship. According to bookmakers’ layouts, Manchester United remain favorites for Bale. The odds on the player’s move to Old Trafford are 2/1. The return to Tottenham is evaluated as 6/1 and the transfer to Juventus or Bayern – 16/1.
