The 28-year-old has endured mixed fortunes in the Spanish capital and failed to live up to expectations at times.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Still highly-rated in England<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Despite his mixed fortunes in Spain, Bale is still highly rated by clubs in the Premier League. Former club Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester United are all reportedly interested in bringing the winger back to England.<\/p>\n<p>Ironically, Real Madrid are once again being linked with a move for Chelsea winger Eden Hazard, not for the first time. Los Blancos are also believed to be interested in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/sport\/football\/transfer-news\/neymars-father-has-dinner-real-11704328\">bringing former Barcelona star Neymar back to Spain<\/a> in the summer.<\/p>\n<p>The club from the Spanish capital could help fund any big money next summer by selling their Welsh winger. Like Bale, Hazard seems to be linked with a move away from his current club in every transfer window.<\/p>\n<p>If Hazard moves away from Stamford Bridge in the summer, then the Blues could make a move for Bale as a replacement for the former Lille forward. Hazard has decided to put contract talks on hold at Chelsea.<\/p>\n<p>Manchester United are long-term admirers of Bale. In fact, the Red Devils were competing with Real Madrid to sign the Wales international in 2013. United boss Jose Mourinho is reported to be a fan of Bale, who the Portuguese boss managed at the Bernabeu.<\/p>\n<p>According to Spanish publication <a href=\"https:\/\/www.donbalon.com\/noticia\/detalle\/72146\/equipo-ha-pedido-ir-gareth-bale-si-tiene-salir-real-madrid\">Don Balon<\/a>, Bale would prefer a return to former club Tottenham if he did leave the Spanish giants. The winger made his name in north London in a six-year spell, as he helped Spurs won the League Cup back in 2008, which is Tottenham\u2019s last trophy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bale time in Spain\u2019s blighted by injury<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Gareth Bale arrived as a Galactico and has scored 56 goals in 103 La Liga appearances for Real Madrid, which was an improvement on his record at Tottenham.<\/p>\n<p>Bale\u2019s record in Spain may well be better if it was not for injury problems. He is currently sidelined by injury and injuries have blighted his career in Madrid. At times Bale has been criticised for his unwillingness to play through the pain barrier.<\/p>\n<p><strong>England return may appeal to Bale<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Reportedly, a return to England and especially Tottenham would appeal to Bale next summer. Real Madrid are set to a squad overhaul in the summer, with boss Zinedine Zidane\u2019s future in the capital now in major doubt.<\/p>\n<p>The Spanish giant\u2019s president Florentino Perez is determined to return his club back to the top of the European football tree after a disappointing campaign so far. Selling the injury-prone Bale may just be part of Perez\u2019s plans to overhaul the squad next summer. With a number of potential replacement\u2019s line-up, Bale returning to the Premier League next summer is now a real possibility.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Will Gareth Bale return to the Premier League this summer?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Tottenham winger Gareth Bale could return to the Premier League, according to reports from the Daily Express and from Spain.

Over time, I learned more about sports betting and discovered the fascinating online gambling industry. Eventually, I decided to turn this passion of mine into a project, and that\u2019s how this platform came to be. I am excited to share my story with you and talk about this platform that\u2019s a result of over 20 years of experience I have in the industry. My Beginnings My love for sports has always been a big part of my life. It all started with my dad and me playing in the backyard, but I continued to play sports throughout both elementary and high school. At that time, I knew very little about sports betting since it wasn\u2019t legal in Pennsylvania, but I quickly learned that other states have different laws and that sports betting was legalized in some of them. When the time to pick a college came, everyone thought I was going to do something sports-related. However, that wasn\u2019t my plan. Since there are many lawyers in my family, I decided to follow in their footsteps. I studied law at the University of Pennsylvania, and during that time, my passion for sports only grew bigger. I would watch various sporting events with my friends and attend all matches and games that were happening in the area. On one occasion, I decided to go on a road trip to Vegas with my friends, and, needless to say, I fell in love with the bright lights, humongous buildings, and fantastic casinos. That\u2019s when I discovered the whole gambling scene I knew nothing about. Of course, I knew how to play some games, such as poker and blackjack, but I never realized how well-developed this industry actually was.

I spent that time writing for various online platforms where I had the opportunity to share my extensive knowledge about sports. When I came back to the US, I was given a chance to write for an international soccer magazine where I covered the Premier League \u2014 which I was crazy about \u2014 Bundesliga, and other international tournaments. After having written hundreds of sports-related articles, I knew what I wanted to do \u2014 create my own platform and share my knowledge with others.

Why I Do This What attracted me to online gambling was the possibility of placing bets on my favorite teams from the comfort of my home.
