The rumour has been going on for a while. Initially what looked like a typical tabloid-fabrication without any iota of truth in it, has turned into a serious matter of consideration, as the hubbub intensifies day by day.
Most importantly, why would Manchester United be willing to sign him when they already have a plethora of options in Bale’s position and reinforcement needed elsewhere? It defies all logic.
Bale himself has clarified the situation, claiming he is not only happy at Madrid but wants to win more trophies with the Los Blancos.
“Go to Manchester United? I am very happy in Madrid, a city, a climate and a club that I love,” he told Dubai TV.
“My contract ends in 2019 and I could
sign a renewal. I am very happy at Madrid and I hope to win many more
titles in the future. “It has been a fantastic year for me. I
wanted to come to Real Madrid to win titles and work alongside the best
players and that is exactly what I have done in a single year. I hope
that we keep improving, winning more titles and that I can keep giving
my all.”
Then came the bombshell from the highly
reputed Guillem Balague just before the last January transfer window
that took the entire transfer saga to a new level.
Furthermore, Bale is probably a victim of Madrid’s obsession with Cristiano Ronaldo and the aura that goes with him. Bale has been booed by the fans, even when he is playing well,
which is more than enough to have a psychological impact on any foreign
player. Last thing he needs is home fans turning against him.
He was under a lot of pressure having gone through a barren spell of nine matches without scoring. The Welshman finally returned back to form against Levante and silenced his critics by netting twice early this month.
