The price of the Welsh international would be a world record £90 million, but it is thought they’re not baulking at the huge price tag behind the scenes at Old Trafford.
The rumours of a surprise move for Bale have come after Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly snubbed a return to the Premier League with United.
This has come just over a year after the Red Devils lost out to the Spanish giants on signing the ex-Tottenham man. However, it is thought that they now feel they’ll be able to tempt the Welshman back to England through the offer of a mega-contract with massive bonuses.
Bale signed for the Blancos from Tottenham for a world record fee of over £80 million on 1st September 2013. He had a very successful first season, scoring 22 goals in 44 appearances in all competitions. He also won the Champions League and Copa Del Rey, scoring in both finals.
