Manchester United have been given a shock after Real Madrid
informed any suitors for Gareth Bale that they will need to spend a record fee
to land the Welshman, according to reports.
Bale came off the bench to deliver a man-of-the-match performance
in the Champions League final on Saturday, scoring one of the greatest goals
ever seen in a European final with a stunning bicycle kick. Immediately
afterwards, Bale piqued the interest of every major club in Europe when he
suggested he would seek a move away if he is not guaranteed more game time.
He told BT Sport: ‘I’m sure we’ll sit down at the table and see
what’s for the best. For me personally, I feel like I should be playing week
in, week out and I haven’t been. ‘I’ve been doing well, scoring goals, but I
haven’t been playing as much as I would like so, as I said, I am going to have
to sit down over the summer and seriously consider what we do next.
£44m transfer And now the Daily Star repAort that, while Real are keen to keep Bale, they will permit him to leave if an offer of £200million is made – which would usurp the record £198m PSG paid for Neymar. That could prove too costly for Manchester United, even though Bale has made Old Trafford his preferred destination should he leave the Bernabeu
United have another problem in Bale’s wages, which are the fourth
most expensive in Europe behind only Neymar, Lionel Messi and Cristiano
Ronaldo. Incredibly, the Welshman currently takes home £650,000 a week – or
£33.8m – which is beyond even United’s means, despite being the richest club in
the world, and Bale would be required to take a significant pay cut if he is to
return to the Premier League.
