Gareth Bale has fuelled further speculation over his Real Madrid future, after he failed to attend a ‘team bonding’ meal, reports Mirror Sport.
Along with striker Karim Benzema, Bale was just one of two players to miss the meal, with returning boss Zinedine Zidane electing to use the opportunity to rebuild his squad’s morale, with the club having underachieved heavily this season.
Los Blancos have been unable to live up to the expectations previously set by Zidane under managers’ Julen Lopetegui and Santiago Solari this season, with the club having fallen way behind Barcelona in the La Liga chase, while they were knocked out of the Champions League by Ajax in the previous round.
This has understandably ramped up speculation that Bale could leave the Bernabeu this summer, with Chelsea, Manchester United and Bayern Munich the key interested parties.
With United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer keen to target younger players this summer, Chelsea have emerged as frontrunners for the Wales international’s signature, with Blues star Eden Hazard’s future uncertain.
Spanish reports, as cited by The Week, go as far as claiming that Real Madrid will offer Bale to Chelsea as a sweetener in their pursuit of Hazard, who has been heavily linked for a number of years with a big money move to the Spanish capital.
Madrid will reportedly leave it up to Bale himself to decide his next destination, and Chelsea could be buoyed by this recent suggestion of further disconnection between Bale and the rest of the Madrid squad.
