Liverpool fans have been crying out for more creativity in midfield, and their prayers have been answered after the club made their move for Real Madrid star Gareth Bale.

The Welshman will make the switch to Anfield on an initial loan deal, with the Anfield hierarchy paranoid that the Welshman could pull up with one of the numerous muscle injuries that cause him to miss large swathes of the season.

Bale is apparently delighted to be making the move back to the Premier League after six years in Spain. He apparently struggles with the Spanish language and has been trying to tell Real president Florentino Perez for the last three years that he wanted to leave.

He seems he’s finally succeeded in getting his wish, although his move to Liverpool could come at a price. Real have agreed a first option on Sadio Mane with the Senegalese international tipped to make the move to the Bernabeu in the summer.

The Spanish club’s manager Zinedine Zidane is reportedly keen to have someone with the pace and guile that Bale used to have.

Despite Bale turning 30 in July, Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is said to be extremely delighted to have signed the winger. The German is looking forward to giving the Welshman a huge bear hug.

This transfer could happen in the future, but it probably won’t. As you may have gathered this is an April Fool’s story. Have a good day and don’t believe everything you read on the internet!
