The Welshman only joined the Spanish giants from Tottenham Hotspur last season, moving in a world-record £85m move to the Bernabeu after establishing himself as one of the best players in the Premier League.
United have since been linked with a move to bring Bale back to England, but Chelsea now hope to join the running with a £90m bid for him this January.
Bale would no doubt be a world class signing for the Blues, who already look in unstoppable form this season after some smart work in the transfer market this summer.
