Although the Welshman’s agent has insisted that will not be leaving Real Madrid and that there is no ‘hatred’ between his client and Zidane, the bookies are still offering odds on which team Bale could join this summer.
Bale joined Real Madrid from Spurs in the summer of 2013, scoring his last goal for the club against Sunderland in a 1-0 win before sealing a then world-record transfer deal of £85m.

However, a raft of Premier League and foreign clubs are also in the running to sign Bale, according to the bookmakers.
The list includes any MLS club (9/2), Manchester United (7/1), Tottenham (8/1), any Chinese club (10/1), Inter Milan (12/1), Juventus (14/1), PSG (14/1), AC Milan (20/1) and Bayern Munich (25/1).
