Inter Milan set to battle Man Utd for Real Madrid outcast Gareth Bale as Conte plots huge summer transfer spree
INTER MILAN are reportedly in the race for Real Madrid outcast Gareth Bale as Antonio Conte plots a huge summer transfer spree.
Ex-Chelsea boss Conte replaced Luciano Spalletti last week and has already began compiling a shortlist of players he wants.
Welsh forward Bale, who has already been told he is not in Zinedine Zidane’s plans next season, is a San Siro target, Okdiario report.
Conte is confident he can convince the ex-Tottenham star to make the switch to Serie A with Champions League football returning to Inter.
Bale famously scored a hat-trick against Inter in 2010 during a 4-3 defeat at the San Siro – while he inspired Spurs to 3-1 win in the second leg.
Inter face competition from Manchester United in the race for the Welshman.
However, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men playing Europa League football next season Conte believes Bale will prefer the San Siro.
It comes after Spanish outlet AS asked Los Blancos supporters to vote on whether the Wales star stays or goes – and 91 per cent of FIVE MILLION voters want him to leave.
