Gareth Bale is reportedly on the verge of a move to Chinese Super League side Jiangsu Suning.
The Wales star is on the lookout for a new club this summer after Madrid made a number of high profile signings.
Spanish outlet Marca say Bale is to move to China on a reported €22m a year after tax deal, for three years.
The deal could be announced as early as tomorrow according to the newspaper, which boasts five million followers.
Shanghai Shenhua were also interested, but it’s Jiangsu who have earned his signature according to Zach Lowry.
Bale appeared for Madrid in midweek, scoring in a 2-2 draw with Arsenal.
The 30-year-old has been at Madrid for the last six years, scoring 102 goals in 231 appearances.
At Madrid, he has won the La Liga, as well as four Champions League titles and one Copa del Rey.
He could be the second player to sign for them this week. Joao Miranda signed for the same club after his contract with Inter Milan was terminated.
Jiangsu are currently sixth in the League, 23-points off of first placed Guangzhou Evergrande and 21-points off of a 2020 AFC Champions League play-off spot.
