Gareth Bale is seeming increasingly likely to leave the Santiago Bernabeu this summer as the board at Real Madrid are reportedly keen on him leaving, with Chelsea being strongly linked to the Welshman, according to Don Balon.
Real Madrid are apparently keen on Bale to go but for a lower fee but for a player to make their way to the Spanish capital, such as Eden Hazard who has been closely linked with a move to Real and also plays in a similar position to Bale.
However, it is believed that Bale is against this idea and although he is ready to leave Madrid, he will go for a fee and not be part of a deal.
Bale is reportedly most keen on a return to the Premier League, where he played his best football at Chelsea’s rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
Antonio Conte and Chelsea are said to be prepared to let Hazard leave Chelsea for the Spanish giants as long as they get the Brit to play at Stamford Bridge, a move which Bale would be keen on according to Spanish sources.
Bale will be fighting for qualification to the Champions League next season, with Los Blancos struggling domestically, having lost 1-0 at Espanyol in their last match.
They are, however, 3-1 up against Paris Saint-Germain in the last 16 of the Champions League, a competition which Bale has won three times in Spain. If he were to win it a fourth, it could be his last game in Real white before a move to Stamford Bridge.
