Report: Gareth Bale Told Teammate He Want To Join Premier League Side

Gareth Bale have reportedly told his Real Madrid teammate Luka Modric about his desire to return to the Premier League with Manchester United this summer. 

The Welshman have been heavily linked with the Old Trafford outfits as Jose Mourinho aims to strengthen his squad ahead of new season. 

The Red Devils have already completed deals for the likes of Victor Lindelof, Romelu Lukaku and Nemanja Matic - but Mourinho has admitted he still wants one more signing.

Bale has long been linked with a move to Old Trafford and his Real Madrid future is up in the air given their pursuit of Monaco hitman Kylian Mbappe.

Express Sports reports Chelsea, like United, harbour hopes of bringing the 28-year-old back to the Premier League.

However, Spanish outlet Don Balon suggest Bale has told Modric via WhatsApp that he is ready to accept an offer from Mourinho’s side.

The former Tottenham star is supposedly resigned to leaving Los Blancos should Mbappe arrive, knowing that manager Zinedine Zidane is unlikely to part with Cristiano Ronaldo or Karim Benzema.

It is said he told Modric, one of his only friends in the dressing room, that he is hellbent on quitting the Bernabeu with Old Trafford his favoured destination.
