Real Madrid have accepted a stunningly high bid for Welshman Gareth Bale. Latest reports suggest that the Blancos received an offer in the ballpark of €150 million for the Welshman from a Chinese club and did not have any hesitation in accepting it.

Bale has been linked with a move away from the Bernabeu and as such speculation has been rife that Real Madrid want close to €100 million for him. Real Madrid have reportedly accepted the bid even though Gareth Bale is not too keen on it. However, It is still unclear as to which Chinese club made the offer.

Bale wants to stick on and see how much teams like PSG and Manchester United are willing to offer to secure their services. In China, they're trying to rope in another global superstar who can help promote football in the country.
