Bear in mind that Real Madrid own all his commercial rights and so make their money back that way so any deal would have to take that into account, possibly take Bale on lower wages but he makes it up on commercial deals.

I would leave out United - they have been burned so many times lately.

Also Juventus- don’t think CR will have him

So who is left?
City? Na...
Liverpool? Na...

Me thinks real would have to pay him and terminate his contract and let him go on a free.

Then There could be a lot of suitors and the wage maybe around 200-250....

Inter, Roma, Napoli, Atletico, Bayern, PSG is probably a good bet if the wages are reduced.

Bale will only want to come back to UK after all his adaptation problems in Spain and for those of you saying no to Bale? Really? You all need to take a long hard look at yourselves.

One of the best players in the world, 3 times champions League winner, previously adored by Spurs fans. The guy is a game changer and WOULD 100% take Spurs to the next level. If one player could take Spurs forward Bale is that player.

The only other place I could see him moving to is Bayern and I hope that doesn't happen

He’s won it four times, hilariously - and they still treat him like shit the utter cretins.

With the amount Utd are supposedly chucking at De Ligt to get him, and talk growing of Pogba staying. I think that pretty much takes them out of the Bale race too.

And he’s been decisive in many of those victories.

Real Madrid fans really are the worse.

Horrible club. I don’t get why players and coaches dream of playing for them. I get the professional aspect of earning a bag of cash, but it’s such a pit of vipers.

There are plenty of other big clubs that don’t treat their players and coaches like they do. Like if someone offered me a choice between Madrid and Bayern I’d be looking on eBay for some Lederhosen.

I can see it dragging on all summer for the best deal unless an uber rich club comes in early.

Apologies if this has been mentioned before, but it will be interesting to see whether Bale will be at the CL Final.

If he has any affiliation to the club, he'll be there as a supporter.

The same reason lawyers start off wanting to work for Allen and Overy or finance people to Ernst and Young or JP Morgan. Because of the prestige attached even though they are equally toxic, snake filled poisonous environments. When I was offered a job at Amazon in my field I snapped at the chance. After 12 months I realised, wow there a disproportionately high number of people here that would throw you under the bus to get ahead.

If you can make it at those places then you're something...

Wherever Bale ends up I'd love to see him smash a hat trick of absolute worldies against Madrid at the Bernebeu.

Statement of intent.
This is a Geordie statement of intent

My latest ankle op has been delayed by two weeks as my surgeon is off with the wales squad.

Despite his repeated assurances that he was legally bound not to discuss any Wales details with his patients. I said "sure" and winked at him repeatedly....to his increasing annoyance.

basically. my winking is going to make Gareth sign for us. that's how I read the interaction.

The thought of Son and Bale either side of Kane... Dele just behind the front...
