Top five clubs that should target Gareth Bale in summer 2022

The winger's contract at Real Madrid is set to run out at the end of the season.

Gareth Bale’s recent stunner against Austria in the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers has raised eyebrows. The Welshman is back in the news and how! With his contract expiring in June 2022, Bale should be on the radar of some top clubs. The winger must also be aiming to settle down at a club and finish his career on high.

Here are the top five clubs that should target Gareth Bale’s services this summer:

5. Paris St-Germain

There is no top player who isn’t linked to the Paris club. Excellent money, comparatively easier league to play in and a swanky lifestyle in the French capital. Gareth Bale should be no exception. With strong reports of Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe leaving the club this summer, PSG could look to re-build their attack with the Welshman.

He can form an excellent pairing on the wings with Neymar. He earns a staggering £600,000 per week in Real Madrid. If Bale wants a big money move then there is not better club to be in.

4. Newcastle United

Newcastle United look a different team since the Saudi takeover. They brought Eddie Howe on board and are looking to revamp their squad. The club made prominent signings in the January 2022 transfer window. It included names such as Kieran Trippier and Bruno Guimaraes. With Gareth Bale available on a free transfer, Newcastle United would look to pounce on his signing.

Money isn’t a problem as well for the Magpies now and they can cater to the Welshman’s demands. Bale will not only bring experience but will also transform Newcastle’s attack. He will join players such as Callum Wilson, Allan Saint-Maximin, Ryan Fraser and so on who will be boosted by his presence.

3. Juventus

With the official confirmation of Paolo Dybala’s exit this summer, it makes way for another forward. Juventus should be one of the front-runners to sign Bale. Having singed Cristiano Ronaldo in the recent past, is a sufficient proof that money is not the problem for the Turin-based club. Bale can form a formidable attacking duo with the newly-recruited Dusan Vlahovic.

Juventus are currently fourth in Serie A. They have also been knocked out of the Champions League by Villarreal in the Round of 16. The Italian giants must be target next year’s Serie A, maybe the Champions League too and Gareth Bale would be instrumental in helping them achieve this.

2. Inter Miami

Inter Miami are languishing at the bottom of the MLS table this season. They have also been reeling under seberal on and off-field issues. This was not what David Beckham was expecting when he started this much talked about venture in the MLS.

To revive Inter Miami of their woes, a star name like Gareth Bale is the need of the hour. He can provide the much needed impetus in front of goal that a Gonzalo Higuain has failed to provide. In fact, with Bale on the wings, Higuain's attacking output can be increased further. The two could form the most stunning attacking duo in the league. Under an English owner in David Beckham and an English coach like Phil Neville, Gareth Bale can find a familiar partnership where he can flourish.

1. Tottenham Hotspur

Another North London club that would want Bale in their squad is Tottenham Hotspur. Tottenham have been Bale’s boyhood club. The Welshman made a return as a loanee in September 2020 under Jose Mourinho, and was released at the end of the season. He scored 11 goals in 20 appearances that season.

As per multiple reports, Daniel Levy is a fan of the winger and would want him back at the club. With new manager Antonio Conte, there is a strong belief that the trio of Harry Kane, Son Heung-min and Bale can help Tottenham reach new heights.
