Gareth Bale Links To Chinese Club For £1M Weekly

As Gareth Bale gradually comes to the end of his stint at Real Madrid, Chinese side Beijing Guoan reportedly have shown interest in the forward for a league record-signing of £1 million a week.

Undoubtedly, Gareth will have to leave Santiago Bernabeu in this transfer window, confirming that is a statement from his manager Zinedine Zidane who made it clear the Welsh international is set for "departure" from the club.

"He wasn't included in the squad because the club is working on his departure," Zidane said "We'll have to see if it goes through tomorrow if it does then all the better. Let's hope, for everyone's sake, that it happens soon."

Bayern Munich which defeated the Spaniards 3-1 during their International Champions Cup match on Saturday has indicated interest in any top players forced to leave the club this summer but there has not been any strong interest for the Welshman.

Rather, the Bundesliga side is now understood to be strongly linked to Crystal Palace's Wilfried Zaha after failing to secure Leroy Sane's move from Manchester City despite plans to double his salary at Allianz Arena. 

However, leaving Real for Chinese Super League will make Gareth better off his current weekly wages of £600,000 which in effect will make him the highest-paid player in the history of the league - he will upset Ezequiel Lavezzi who earns £500,000-a-week at Hebei China Fortune.
