Possibly the biggest transfer story this summer, but not in the way you’d expect.

Gareth Bale is on the market having fallen out of favour at Real Madrid following a blunt 2018/19 campaign.

But there are not many suitors lining up around the corner to prise the Welsh winger away from the Bernabeu.

Indeed, exponential wages, his transfer fee, age and injury history have dissuaded many of the top clubs from entering the arena for the 29-year-old’s signature.

Manchester United are thought to be among the clubs most interested but a report from Sky Sports suggests that he is not in their plans for a permanent transfer.

There is though, talk of a possible loan deal and given Bale will fall further down the pecking order at Madrid next season following the arrivals of Eden Hazard, Luka Jovic and Rodrygo, it’s a move which would make sense.
