Chelsea are keeping tabs on Gareth Bale’s situation at Real Madrid with a view to moving for the £100m-rated forward, according to reports.
Bale, 28, has been the subject of increased speculation in recent weeks with Madrid believed to be keen on signing Monaco ace Kylian Mbappe. Antonio Conte admits he can't stop Chelsea star joining Barcelona if one thing happens.
The Frenchman’s arrival would push Bale closer to the fringes at the Bernabeu and Los Blancos know they could recoup much of the Mbappe fee by selling off the Welshman.
Manchester United have a long-standing interest in Bale but Chelsea have emerged as shock contenders, according to the Express.
Antonio Conte is said to be a huge fan of the forward and the Blues are monitoring Bale’s situation to assess if it’s possible to sign him this summer.
United are willing to wait until next summer to sign the Welshman, providing Chelsea with a window of opportunity in bagging him in the next month.
Conte is desperate to add to his squad in the next four weeks and says he needs new arrivals to compensate for having a ‘small squad’.
‘For me, it will be the most difficult season of my career. I’m sure about this. It will be the most difficult of my career as a coach,’ said Conte.
I have this perception and I hope I’ve made a mistake.
‘We need more players, not top level like Neymar but more players to improve our squad and our quality.’
