AS Roma manager Jose Mourinho is looking to reunite with Gareth Bale in the Italian capital (as per Republic World) as the Welshman exits Real Madrid on a free transfer.
His contract with the Champions League winners expires at the end of the month, and he is confirmed to leave the Whites after a nine-year spell. Bale has kept a tight-lip on his future, but many clubs have expressed their interest in signing the winger, including the Giallorossi.
The Italian capital side has become the go-to club for English players, with Chris Smalling, Tammy Abraham and Ainsley Maitland-Niles all joining Roma to revive their careers.
Bale could be next in line, with his close relationship with Mourinho, under whom he played one season at Tottenham Hotspur last year, being the key.

According to Italian news outlet Calciomercato, the Portuguese coach is keen to bring Bale to the Stadio Olimpico this summer.
The move would give him more options in attack, which was led brilliantly by Chelsea-reject Tammy Abraham last season, who scored 27 goals across competitions. However, Spurs are keen to get Bale for a third spell, while Newcastle United and Aston Villa are also interested in him.

The 32-year-old will seek regular game time after seeing himself spend most of his last few years at Real Madrid on the bench.
He still has a few more years at the top. His 16-goal haul from 34 games with Tottenham in the 2020-21 season is proof of what he’s is capable of when he plays regularly.
Bale also recently played a key role in helping Wales qualify for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. So the months leading up to the tournament will be crucial for him.
Gareth Bale will be remembered as a Real Madrid legend
Gareth Bale largely became an isolated figure at Real Madrid in his final two seasons there. However, his accomplishments are undenieable, and he will go down in history as a legend of the club.
