Real Madrid star Gareth Bale receives £1M-a-week Chinese offer

Real Madrid star Gareth Bale is ready to move to China.

The Sun says Bale has agreed to join Jiangsu Suning for a staggering £1million per week, according to sensational reports in China.

The Chinese Super League club are thought to be ready to splash the cash to lure the Welshman, 30, to the Far East - with Bale allegedly ready to move.

Journalist Bai Guohua made the staggering revelation on social media platform Weibo this morning.

He wrote: "Congratulations to fans of Suning Club!"

Guohua then added that Jiangsu had beaten off competition from rivals Beijing Guo'an to sign the Real Madrid star.

Bale is expected to leave the Bernabeu after boss Zinedine Zidane said it would be "best for everyone" if he moved on after six years with the club.

But his high wages, currently around £600,000, have priced out plenty of potentially-interested club.
