6 destinations for Bale after hinting he might leave this summer

Shortly after inspiring Real Madrid to a third successive Champions League title, Gareth Bale dramatically kicked open the door to a move away from the club.

The Welshman has struggled for game time this season but proved his worth with a stunning overhead kick against Liverpool in Kiev, Ukraine, on Saturday night.

The 28-year-old then secured victory for Los Blancos when his long range strike slipped through Loris Karius's gloves.

Just moments after the full-time whistle, and Real's victory, Bale made no secret of his disappointment at starting on the bench and said he would sit down with his agent in the summer to discuss his future.

"I need to be playing week in, week out and that has not happened this season," the Welshman told BT Sport.

"I had an injury five, six weeks in but I've been fit ever since. I have to sit down with my agent in the summer and discuss it."

With Bale plunging his future at Real Madrid into doubt, Mirror Football takes a look at six likely destinations for the Welshman.

Manchester United

Probably the most likely destination for Bale. United have been after the Real Madrid forward for some time and have been rebuffed twice in the past. However, Bale's latest comments will only excite the United chiefs.

The odds of a transfer to Old Trafford are only further slashed by Mourinho's desperation for a true winger. United failed in their pursuit of Ivan Perisic last summer and paid the price this season. They won't want to make the same mistake.

Spurs

The perfect return? [Photo: Courtesy]

Yes Bale began his career at Southampton but it was at Spurs he made his name.

Since leaving, the north London side have established themselves as a top four team and Champions League competitors making a return move that much more appealing.

The Wales international is also much loved by Spurs fans and would be welcomed back with open arms.

Bayern Munich

A team whose style would very much suit Bale. For years the Bundesliga club have thrived on using wingers, deploying Arjen Robben, 34, on one flank and Franck Ribery, 35, on the other.

But with both stars nearing the end of their careers now would be the perfect time for some fresh blood.

Juventus

Exactly the kind of transfer that Juventus should be making. The Serie A giants have fallen agonisingly short of the mark in the Champions League over the past two seasons.

However, you get the feeling that with a huge transfer like this they could go on to dominate Europe.

PSG

Unlikely, but the Ligue 1 champions do like to make a statement.

We've seen with the transfers of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe that Paris Saint-Germain aren't shy of splashing the cash.

Everybody knows that the Champions League is the golden prize for Les Parisiens, so why not buy someone who's won it three times on the trot.

Chelsea

The least likely club to sign Bale of the six in this list, but they are here for good reason.

After finishing fifth in the league Chelsea will need to make a statement. They also need to keep Eden Hazard sweet who, as it stands, won't be playing Champions League football next season.
