Transfer: Bale’s new club offers to pay him £1million per week
Beijing Guoan are ready to make Real Madrid winger, Gareth Bale the highest-paid player in Chinese football history, by offering him a route out of Real Madrid, the UK Telegraph reports.
Real manager Zinedine Zidane has revealed the club are working on Bale’s departure, which he expects to happen in day. His comments prompted the Welshman’s agent, Jonathan Barnett, to call Zidane “a disgrace”. Barnett also suggested there could be a surprise in terms of where Bale goes next and it is understood Beijing Guoan have already expressed their interest in taking the 30-year-old. Guaon are not the only club interested in Bale, but they are one of the few who want to to match or even increase his £600,000-a-week Real wages. It is believed they are willing to pay the Welshman an eye-watering £1million per week. Estimated to be among the wealthiest clubs in China, Guaon have previously proved their ability to spend big, by signing striker Cedric Bakambu from Villarreal for over £35 million.
