Gareth Bale
arrived at Real Madrid in 2013 with the hope of being Cristiano Ronaldo's successor and a great figure at the 'White House'. However, years have passed and the Welshman has not fully consolidated, largely due to the various injuries he has suffered.
Aware of this, Florentino Pérez is already working on his replacement for the summer of 2018. According to the Spanish portal 'Don Balón', it is Portuguese player Gonçalo Guedes, from Valencia, whose start to the season in La Liga has been exceptional.
The best thing for the president of Real Madrid is that Guedes' representative is Jorge Mendes, a well-known figure for Florentino Pérez and with whom he has closed major signings. The characteristics of the Portuguese player would be liked within the Madrid camp: versatility and goal-scoring ability.
As for the future of Gareth Bale, Real Madrid hopes to recover some of the over 100 million euros they spent on him. Manchester United and Chelsea are said to be his potential destinations in the 2018 transfer market. It would be a bombshell.
