Reports in Spain had Gareth Bale wishing for a move to either China or the English Premier League, but the option of watching the Welshman joining Bayern this season is still feasible.
According to a report by Spanish newspaper As, the Real Madrid outcast is still on Bayern's radar, and give the good relationship between Real Madrid and Bayern execs, the move could still happen before the end of the summer transfer window.
The deal between both teams would be similar to the one that saw James Rodríguez joining Die Roten on loan for two years, with an option included in the deal to make it permanent. While this option is not as satisfying to Real Madrid execs, it seems like one of their only ways out of their current predicament.
Los Blancos' boss Zinedine Zidane wants nothing to do with the Welsh ace, but other than Bale's unsuccessful attempt to join a Chinese side on loan, there have been no major offers making their way to Real Madrid's front desk. With that in mind, Bayern bosses are ready to wait for the last days of the transfer window to offer the Spanish giants and Bale a way out of their problems.
The aforementioned loan deal between Real Madrid and Bayern that saw James Rodríguez joining the German giants included a loan fee of over $13M. Once the two-year loan came to an end, Bayern had an option to buy Rodríguez for $49M, but the player's poor relationship with coach Niko Kovac eliminated that possibility.
Will the summer transfer window bring an end to the relationship between Los Blancos and Bale? Let's wait until the end of the month to find out.
