    Football Express News understands that Chelsea have held a board meeting over the £75m bid for Gareth Bale, proposed for this summer.

    Following a season of ups and downs for Bale at Real Madrid, a number of links to Premier League sides have begun to gain pace with Manchester United and Chelsea linked.

    The former Tottenham Hotspur forward scored a brace for Wales against Israel yesterday, but has endured a torrid season in Spain and it’s very likely Real Madrid will be willing to do business with prospective suitors.

    Bale is believed to have had a £75M buy out clause included in his contract and it is understood that Chelsea officials have held a board meeting to agree on a summer bid of that amount.

    Although, Bale has reiterated his desire to stay in Madrid, it is difficult seeing his current employers reject a bid of £75M.
