As Pep Guardiola's future with Bayern Munich remains unclear at the moment, rumors are circulating not only about the coach who will lead the Bavarians, but also regarding the players that will play for him. One of those rumors involves Gareth Bale, who would team up once more with Carlo Ancelotti at Bayern Munich, as some sources indicated today.
Carlo Ancelotti seems to be the frontrunner to take Pep Guardiola's job with Die Roten, as the Spanish coach has not revealed if he wants to extend his contract with the current Bundesliga champions. Sources indicate that a Ancelotti and team execs have reached a verbal agreement, which will be made official once Guardiola sorts out his future.
English journalists have also revealed that Ancelotti's "top priority" is signing Gareth Bale. The Welshman, constantly linked to a move away from Real Madrid, would re-join his former coach with Los Blancos, even if his agent, Jonathan Barnett, has criticized the way Ancelotti used his client on the pitch.

Ancelotti, according to an English newspaper, would like Bale to take Arjen Robben's place in the team's lineup, since the Dutch wingman suffers with a number of injuries throughout the season.
Bale's season with Real Madrid kicked off with a bang, although the former Tottenham player came down with a calf injury last month, which has left him on the sidelines for a number of games.
