Real Madrid Transfer News: Bayern Munich Eye Gareth Bale in Latest Rumours

Bayern Munich are reportedly eyeing a summer move for Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale as they look to overhaul their attacking unit.

According to Alejandro Alcazar of Sport, Los Blancos placed Bale on the transfer market "a few weeks ago," and Bayern have now joined Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain in registering their interest in the Welshman.

Alcazar added that Real are eager to earn €120 million from the sale of Bale, or at least recoup the €101 million they paid for him, but Bayern will not be prepared to pay either fee and hope to negotiate a cheaper price.

Bale, 28, has seemed to fall out of favour with manager Zinedine Zidane in recent weeks.

He has started on the bench in five of the six UEFA Champions League knockout matches Real have played this season, and it seems unlikely he will be in the starting lineup for the final against Liverpool on May 26.

That is an indication that he is no longer a key part of the first team and his future at the Santiago Bernabeu past the summer is in serious doubt, per BT Sport:

The former Tottenham Hotspur man has not lost his attacking touch, though.

His 2017-18 return of 12 goals and two assists in 23 La Liga appearances is still impressive.

He could thrive at Bayern, where replacements are needed for the 34-year-old Arjen Robben and 35-year-old Franck Ribery.

But Real will likely have to be prepared to take a loss on Bale if he is going to end up at the Allianz Arena.
