"Chelsea" was ready to pay up to 185 million euros for G. Bale

Rumors have spread in the English press that Madrid's "Real" star Gareth Bale has rejected the opportunity not only to return to the English "Premier" league but also to join London's "Chelsea" for an impressive sum.

According to "Daily Express," the team led by Jose Mourinho offered 185 million euros for the 25-year-old winger, but Bale has no thoughts of leaving the Spanish capital.

Bale has recently been linked with "Manchester United" as well. In the summer of 2013, the footballer cost almost 100 million euros for the "Real" club.

The leader of the Welsh national team shone among the "white" ranks last season and was one of the main players in the team, but he cannot boast of excellent form this season, and there are talks in the press about a possible exit from the club.
