4 superstars who could join the English Premier League this summer

#1 Gareth Bale (Real Madrid to Manchester United)

Villarreal v Real Madrid - La Liga — Bale looks set to return to the Premier League

While Real Madrid are currently working towards the recruitment of new faces into their squad this summer, Los Blancos could also be losing one of their important superstars during the transfer window.

Welsh attacker Gareth Bale has been linked with a move away from the Santiago Bernabeu after seeing his game time reduced due to injuries and fitness issues. The winger is reportedly interested in returning to the Premier League after Jose Mourinho convinced him to join Manchester United.

According to Metro, Real Madrid have already informed the Red Devils that they will need to pay £88million in order to get their target.

This should not be a problem for the Premier League outfit, considering their financial strength at the moment. Bale bagged 21 goals and 7 assists for Los Blancos in all competitions last term.
