Top 5 destinations for Gareth Bale

Gareth Bale’s transfer saga has taken an ugly turn following the war of words between Zinedine Zidane and Jonathan Barnett. After the French boss expressed his desire to sell Bale openly by indicating that it would be a ‘good move for all the parties’, the Welshman’s agent hit back, labelling Zidane as a ‘disgrace’.

That Gareth Bale will finally leave Real Madrid this summer is certain. The 30-year-old’s time at the Bernabeu is up and he is already seeking new pastures to ply his trade at.
However, Bale’s wage demands of £650k per week are proving to be a stumbling block for many clubs. Yet, that hurdle won’t stop him embracing the exit door at the club.
With just another month left for the transfer window to slam shut, the Welshman could possibly end up at any of these 5 destinations

#5 Chinese Super League

Let’s face it. Given his age and the poor fitness record Gareth Bale has, none of the world’s elite clubs will give in to his mammoth salary demands. That is unless he decides to move to the far east.

China is rapidly becoming a lucrative option for footballers who want to earn mounds of cash
and any Chinese club would happily match the9 30-year-old’s salary slips at Real Madrid. It was reported that one of the Chinese clubs had offered him over £1m per week – double of what he earns at the Spanish capital.

In recent times, a number of high-profile players such as Hulk, Oscar, Yannick Carrasco and Ezequiel Lavezzi have made moves to China and are pocketing gigantic sums of cash.

The Welshman could easily make it into the echelons of the world’s highest-paid footballers, even if that means sacrificing major competitions in Europe.#4 Tottenham Hotspur

A move back to the club where he made a name for himself sounds appealing doesn’t it? Gareth Bale established himself as one of the world’s elite footballers at Tottenham and the London-based club could accept him with open arms.

A move back to his old club means the 30-year-old will have to take a significant pay cut, but on the greener side, he will still be joining a team with an interesting project. Mauricio Pochettino’s men finished as Champions League runner-ups last season; the team’s vast potential could be enough for Bale to be convinced about the club’s ambitions.

Tottenham have also become strong contenders to win the Premier League as the seasons have passed by. Bale might be a four-time Champions League winner with Real Madrid, but he still misses a winners’ medal of the toughest league in the world.

Should Bale move to his old employers, he will not have a shortage of challenges to fulfil in England.#3 Liverpool

A return to the Premier League will always remain on the cards for Gareth Bale. The 30-year-old hails from Great Britain and steadily approaching the twilight of his career, a move to his homeland is always possible.

While Tottenham have been linked with a move for the Welshman, Merseyside could also be a fine option for him to consider. Liverpool clinched the Champions League last season and missed out on the league by just a point. There’s no doubt the club is finally on yhe way to recapturing its old glories. Bale could definitely have a great chance of winning the Premier League should he don the maroon jersey.

Signing Bale would also prove to be a coup for Liverpool. Jurgen Klopp has one of the best right wingers in Mohammed Salah, but Bale’s addition could increase the squad depth. The German gaffer has already complained about the fixture list as the Merseysiders gear up to participate in 7 competitions this season.

In that sense, the Welshman could give them the much-required squad depth required to compete equally well on all fronts.#2 Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich are in an era of transition at the moment. The legendary duo of Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben has left the the club and the Bavarians are now seeking adequate reinforcements for the same. Niko Kova’s side have been linked with a number of high-profile players such as Leroy Sane and Ousmane Dembele.

Gareth Bale could easily walk into the Bayern lineup given his plethora of experience at the top level. The German giants haven’t won the Champions League in the last six years and are desperate to get their hands on the trophy. Who better than a four-time Champions League winner to spearhead their attack?

Bayern albeit are looking for a more young solution to their wings and a 30-year-old Bale hardly fits the bill. However, given the club’s adamantine nature regarding spending millions on young players, the Welshman presents a fine short-term solution to their problems.#1 Paris Saint Germain

In the end, it’s all about winning silverware, isn’t it? And Gareth Bale could carry around a bunch of medals if agrees to move to Paris Saint Germain. Les Parisiens are the best club in the Ligue1 by miles. The French champions would guarantee the 30-year-old lots of domestic laurels.

Bale’s move to PSG would also make sense given that their Brazilian talisman Neymar is trying to pave a way for his exit out of the club. Should Barcelona succeed in poaching their former star, PSG will have Kylian Mbappe to take a more central role in the lineup. Meanwhile, Bale could occupy the Frenchman’s right-wing position.

Add the fact that PSG have coffers filled to the brim, meaning they will have no problems matching the Real Madrid man’s salary expectations. Of the entire lot, PSG sounds to be the best destination for the Welshman.
