Chelsea considering move for Gareth Bale
Chelsea will be looking to make a number of statement signings during the transfer window and there aren’t many players bigger in world football than Gareth Bale.
The attacker was an influential part of the Real Madrid team that won La Liga this past season but, as there tends to be every summer, there are questions over his future at the Bernabeu.
With Real Madrid looking at the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Chelsea’s Eden Hazard, Bale could find himself expendable to Zinedine Zidane.
According to Spanish source Don Balon, there is a world-record €100m offer on the table from Chelsea for the Welsh star.
Bale, who was once the most expensive player in football history when Madrid shelled out £85m to sign him from Tottenham, has never really been taken in by the Madrid fans in the way that Cristiano Ronaldo has.
Hazard is one of Zidane’s top targets at Madrid but getting Bale in return wouldn’t be the worst outcome.
