The 25 year old has come in for a fair amount of criticism of late, from fans and pundits alike, and this source claims that the language barrier may be holding back the former Tottenham man.
Real Madrid paid a world record £86m fee for Bale and in the creative wide-man had a superb debut season, netting 22 goals in all competitions and playing a key role in their march to Champions League and Copa del Rey titles, however his second campaign has stuttered a fair bit.
The addition of James Rodriguez last summer has led to more competition for spots in Carlo Ancelotti’s starting eleven but Bale, when fit, has been a regular starter but has managed just three goals in his last 18 matches.
Jose Mourinho may well feel a front three the chance to field Bale in an attack that would also include Eden Hazard and Diego Costa would provide Chelsea with a good basis for a push for a Champions League success, as well as renewed domination in England, and one wonders if a massive bid would be considered by Real Madrid.
