Bayern Munich midfielder Thiago Alcantara says he would welcome Gareth Bale to the club as rumours of the Welshman’s Real Madrid exit gather momentum.
Bale’s playing time became limited during the latter half of last season when Zinedine Zidane returned to the club, sparking murmurs of a move away from the Santiago Bernabeu this summer – with Bayern Munich said to be a potential destination.
The Bundesliga champions are now without long-term attacking duo Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery, with the former retiring while the latter departed the club at the close of his contract at the end of last season.
