Beijing Guoan want to make Gareth Bale the highest-paid player in Chinese football history by offering him a route out of Real Madrid according to Telegraph
Real manager Zinedine Zidane has revealed the club are working on Bale’s departure, prompting the Welshman’s agent, Jonathan Barnett, to label the former France international “a disgrace”.
Barnett also suggested there could be a surprise in terms of where Bale goes next and Telegraph Sport understands, Beijing Guoan have already made it clear they are interested in taking the 30-year-old to China.
Guaon are not the only club interested in Bale, but they are one of the few who might be able to match or better his £600,000-a-week Real wages.
Estimated to be among the wealthiest clubs in China, Guaon have previously proved their ability to spend big by signing striker Cedric Bakambu from Villarreal for more than £35 million.
Bale would almost certainly be able to earn more in China, where the highest-paid player is currently Ezequiel Lavezzi, who is paid over £500,000-a-week at Hebei China Fortune.
The transfer window in China shuts on July 31, meaning Guaon have less than 10 days to try to secure what would be a huge coup by signing Bale.
