Talismanic Wales forward Gareth Bale was spotted at Cardiff City’s training base on Wednesday morning, fuelling talk of a potential shock switch.
Bale, 32, is a free agent having ended his nine-year stay with Real Madrid and is free to discuss terms on a contract at any club of his choosing, and met with Cardiff boss Steve Morison over his future.
And although he is a boyhood Bluebirds fan, he has never played for the Welsh side and any move to Cardiff would surely be the shock story of the summer, with the forward revealing a decision on his future is imminent, according to WalesOnline.

Rumours of a potential move to Cardiff had previously circled but were largely dismissed as speculative, but the player’s appearance at the Bluebirds’ training ground has seen them reignited.
Bale’s agent Jonathan Barnett revealed in an earlier interview that ‘what Gareth does next is not about money’, while Wales manager Robert Page said the idea of his captain joining Cardiff ‘ticks all the boxes’ and ‘makes a lot of sense’.
Bale himself said that the quality of a prospective side was not necessarily paramount to his decision-making process, but he was more interested in playing regular football ahead of spear-heading his side’s World Cup campaign in Qatar.
But any move to the Welsh side would certainly require the player to take a massive pay cut from his Real salary, where the player was reportedly earning £554,000-per-week.
