According to a new report from The Mirror, Gareth Bale is willing to sit down with Man United but he doesn’t think they can afford him.
Gareth Bale isn’t certain of Manchester United’s willingness to pay for his wages. The recent report of his decision to sit down and talk about a possible exit from Real Madrid come with a twist. The Welshman wants to leave Los Blancos for the first time, but he won’t go anywhere.
A recent report from The Mirror revealed that the player spoke to close friends about the expectations he has to return to the Premier League. It appears that he cares more about money than playing the game, Gareth Bale wants to get paid. We can’t blame the man after many years earning a staggering €600k per-week.
Although he is willing to hear Manchester United out, he doesn’t think they have the money to afford him. This leaves the Red Devils in a very tight situation. Either the Glazer family proves they can pay for the Welshman, or he starts listening to other offers. But which other clubs are a possible destination for Bale at the moment?
Jose Mourinho also wants Bale.
We need to keep in mind that we are in the middle of a pandemic. Which is why not every powerful club in the world has the money to afford a player as expensive as Gareth Bale. Manchester United is one of the few clubs that can pay the man, but there’s another option not everybody has discussed.
A return to Tottenham Hotspur could also be in the cards for the star. Sometimes we forget, but there was a time when Jose Mourinho was after Bale’s signature when still managed Manchester United. This desire to sign him is still strong, especially now that the Spurs are in desperate need of some star power.
ESPN reported today that the Portuguese manager is back on board to sign the Welshman. The next few days will be key to see who signs Gareth. Sadly, it might all depend on who can pay him more money.
Take a look at the odds every club has to sign Gareth Bale.
