According to a report from The Times, Gareth Bale would accept going to Manchester United on a one-season loan and Real Madrid would agree. 

With Jadon Sancho moving further away from Manchester United, the Gareth Bale option is slowly picking up steam. Real Madrid is desperately looking for the Welshman’s way out and they are willing to hear any new ideas.

The Red Devils believe they need a world-class winger in order to complete an already competitive squad for the new season. Jadon Sancho was their first option but Borussia Dortmund seems unwilling to cut back on their €120 million demand.

It appears the German squad won’t agree to the €100 million offer they are getting from United, which opens a window for Gareth Bale. The Real Madrid star is on Zinedine Zidane’s unwanted list, they simply don’t get along and they both want to part ways.

However, the issue with Gareth is the €15 million wage he gets every year. Manchester United wouldn’t be able to pay for it in full, which can become an issue in the negotiations. 

Bale agrees to a loan to Man United. 

According to a recent report from The Times, Gareth Bela is desperate to play for a club where he gets more minutes. His intention is to get to the Euros in top form but he can’t do that if he stays in Real Madrid. This is the reason he reportedly agreed to a one-season loan to Manchester United.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is looking at Bale as a short-term solution for their problems, but they aren’t willing to buy a player who gets injured that often. But a loan is a different story for both sides. Gareth just wants to play football and United will entertain the idea of testing the 31 year-old star.

If it works, they might even consider buying him from Real Madrid at the end of the season. The only problem now is the player’s salary. The Red Devils will look into paying him only a fraction of what he earns, which could prove complicated for Real Madrid.

Regardless of how the negotiations move along, it appears Real Madrid and Gareth Bale’s relationship might finally come to an end.
