Gareth Bale is back in the transfer headlines, with Manchester United reportedly set to launch a £60
million bid for the Welsh winger
The report in the Daily Mirror claims Bale is being targeted as the first major signing under new manager David Moyes. Despite speculation surrounding the likes of Cesc Fabregas, Moyes is eager to secure the services of Bale more than any other, and is believed to be a key factor in vice chairman Ed Woodward's decision to return home from a pre-season tour of Australia for transfer negotiations.
Bale has been heavily linked with Real Madrid for some months, but given the recent poor publicity for United after Wayne Rooney departed the tour early, the Premier League champions are willing to smash their transfer record to boost confidence heading into next season.
