Gareth Bale transfer news: Manchester United favourites to sign Real Madrid star as top European clubs lurk
The future of Real Madrid superstar Gareth Bale is set to be one of the biggest talking points of the summer transfer window.Speculation around his future went into overdrive on Sunday as manager Zinedine Zidane refused to bring him off the bench as a substitute in their 2-0 loss to Real Betis.Getty9

Bale is in the wilderness with Los Blancos just six years after being signed for a world-record fee

After the game, Zidane told reporters: “I’m sorry he didn’t get to play, but no one knows what will happen.“If I think a player doesn’t fit in the team, I have to do what I think works best.“No one can change what Bale has done for the team, but as a coach I have to live in the present.”Some believe this signals his time in the Spanish capital is over but other feel Bale is unwilling to be cast aside unceremoniously and is willing to wait things out at the Bernabeu.Last week it was rumoured Real were willing to sanction a 10million loan to former club Tottenham Hotspur, but who are the current favourites to land him?

This one is a wildcard given the player’s links to Spurs, but the Gunners are a team who may need to function with help from loan deals. They might be an odd couple made in heaven.

With Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben leaving the Bundesliga giants a role on the win in Bavaria could be on the cards for Bale.

Chelsea – 20/1Getty Images9

Just like with Arsenal, this on is unlikely. The situation might be even tougher here given they are set to be subject to a transfer ban but there is also a chance, if it is lifted, Bale could be used as a makeweight in a deal for Eden Hazard.

Bale could joy this elite cast, but joining up with Cristiano Ronaldo again would be problematic in several ways. Could Juve afford the fee and wages? Perhaps if they sell Paulo Dybala, who has been linked with a move away.

If either of Neymar or Kylian Mbappe leave the French capital, it’s easy to see Bale fitting in at PSG. He may find success in Ligue 1 and still be in with a chance of Champions League joy.

If wages are what Bale cares about, a move to China might appeal to him.

Tottenham – 6/19

A return to Spurs has been talked about. Fans are divided about seeing the player return but a loan deal could be a good move for both parties. Real could try and use Bale in a swap for Christian Eriksen too.

Manchester United – 8/15Getty Images9

The frontrunners right now, Man United have wanted Bale since his days at Southampton. They missed out to Spurs in 2007 but could win the race this time as the Red Devils look to overhaul their squad under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
