Jiangsu Suning have started following Bale on Instagram Real Madrid One of the 34 accounts they follow

Gareth Bale's Real Madrid career appears to be coming to an end and Jiangsu Suning are willing to offer him a contract that would see him come close to maintaining his salary of 17 million euros.

The Chinese club are so close to acquiring the Welshman that they've already started following him on Instagram.

The fact that they only follow 33 other accounts makes this all the more significant.

Bale's agent Jonathan Barnett is currently working on finalising the player's move to China.
