Report: Chelsea to pay £75m for Gareth Bale

Gareth Bale's Real Madrid release clause could be met by Chelsea in the summer, according to reports.

Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale will be the subject of a £75m summer bid from Premier League leaders Chelsea, according to reports.

The 25-year-old has scored 12 goals in 25 La Liga appearances this season, but has come in for criticism from sections of the Spanish media and some Los Blancos supporters.

The Welshman is thought to be keen to stay at the Bernabeu, though Real Madrid's desire to keep the former Tottenham Hotspur man will be tested by Chelsea's bid, reports the Daily Mail.

A £75m offer may trigger a release clause in Bale's contract with Carlo Ancelotti's side.

Bale scored twice in Wales's 3-0 Euro 2016 qualifying victory over Israel in Haifa last night.
