Gareth Bale has been told to make the first move if he wants to seal a sensational transfer to Cardiff City this summer.
Wales’ record goalscorer is set to become a free agent at the end of the season, with his protracted Real Madrid nightmare set to finally come to an end. Despite winning every major honour - including three Champions League crowns - Bale has endured a miserable few seasons with Los Blancos.
The 32-year-old was allowed to join Tottenham on-loan last season, but returned to Madrid with the hope he could be involved as Carlo Ancelotti returned to the club. However, he has remained little more than a cheerleader and has played just 290 minutes all campaign.
