Gareth Bale’s supposed impending return to the Premier League has been back page news for the past few weeks. The team in question to sign Gareth Bale being Manchester United; as part of a package deal for David De Gea. Is this really the best move for Bale?

When Gareth Bale signed for the La Liga giants, and stated that it was his dream come true, we all believed him. He left the Premier League in order to join one of the biggest and best known clubs on earth. What footballer, of any capacity, would not want that? Could Bale give up this dream so easily? He’s one into his second season at Real Madrid. You don’t sign for a club of that calibre for a short period of time.

Something that has to have crossed Gareth Bale’s mind is: would a move back to England be the best for my career? He’s just 25 years old. Regressing back to his former league could be damaging, so much so that is alters his career forever. Or, it could be the best thing he could do for himself.

Realistically, where could Gareth Bale go, aside from Manchester United? Chelsea, Manchester City? Both will be hindered by Financial Fair Play and both sides would have to have a pretty big clear out if they were to be able to afford Gareth Bale. Arsenal will not put the money forward for a player of Bale’s class, so there are very few options at hand for the winger.

Much of this rumour has come about due to the harsh reactions from Real Madrid fans towards Bale. He has been on the receiving end of verbal abuse as well as physical abuse – although this was inflicted on his car – and it is a real concern. Are these attacks being overhyped by the British media, as it is an attack on a British player? Should they be less sensitive to the treatment he is getting? Real Madrid fans truly show themselves to be utterly pathetic, whereas Gareth Bale shows himself to be a professional.

Bale cannot let these incidents get to him. He needs to find the confidence he had in his first season. He is off his game right now, but that happens to a lot of footballers. They are human. It would be sad to see the world’s most expensive player be forced out of his club by some narrow minded, plastic fans. Gareth Bale has a big decision to make, which could affect him for the rest of his life. No pressure, then!
