Shenhua set to stoke Bale's shot at China

Welsh star maneuvering for January switch after fresh tribulations at Madrid

Gareth Bale could be bound for the Chinese Super League after all, with Shanghai Shenhua reportedly reigniting their interest in the Welsh superstar following his latest falling-out with Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane.

Shenhua and Jiangsu Suning both failed in attempts to sign Bale last summer after Madrid slapped a hefty price tag, thought to be in the region of 40 million euros ($44 million), on the forward that would have been subject to a 100 percent CSL transfer tax.
