The agent of The World most expensive player Gareth Bale tried to convince him to return to premier league this season with Manchester united.
According to Spanish journalist Javier Matallanas, Bale's agent Jonathan Barnett spoke with his client about moving to Manchester United, and the agent would have reportedly pocketed €20m if the deal went through.
"Barnett was very concerned that the transfer (would) be fruitful, because United guaranteed him a fee of 20 million euros, according to a source familiar with the negotiations."
Matallanas goes on to state his belief that an exit for Bale could still be possible, and even goes on to mention that Bale would unlikely be missed by Madrid, due to his failure to integrate with the rest of the squad; missing out on club dinners, for example.
"If he leaves, no (one) would throw him in the (dog) house because empathy with the vast majority of peers is zero."
Despite crazy expectations that follow from a world record transfer to Real Madrid of all clubs, Gareth Bale has wowed at the Bernabeu, with 41 goals in 100 appearances, something he should be proud of. Many questioned whether he could make the grade in Spain and he answered those critics.
It could be time for him to return to England and give hell to the full backs of the Premier League, and with Ronaldo already in the sights of Manchester United boss Louis Van Gaal, he could instead opt to bring in the younger Welshman, as moves for both players would surely not be viable.
