Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale both threw their Real Madrid futures into doubt after the Champions League final, but where could they go?
Gareth Bale proved the star turn in Real Madrid's 3-1 Champions League final win over Liverpool as he came off the bench in Kiev to score a remarkable overhead kick and complete a brace late on.
It meant a fifth Champions League winners' medal for an unusually becalmed Cristiano Ronaldo, but the superstar forward managed to grab the attention after full-time by suggesting he may be ready to leave the 13-time kings of Europe.
Bale also expressed more understandable frustrations over being named as a substitute for a big game by Zinedine Zidane once more and indicated he will assess his future with his agent Jonathan Barnett over the coming months.
The prospect of two of Europe's premier attacking talents being on the market this close-season will pique interest from elite clubs but the financial package required to land either Ronaldo or Bale means their options are inevitably limited.
Stays in Madrid should certainly not be ruled out for either man – Zidane was insistent over Ronaldo's future after the match – but here we run the rule over some potential suitors
Gareth Bale
It’s seems almost inevitable now that Bale will leave this summer and we make Manchester United the favourites to land the highly coveted Welshman
Tottenham making the unlikely move to bring Bale back to London would be an emphatic demonstration of how far they have come since the winger made a world-record switch to Madrid in 2013.
PGS and Chelsea are the 7/2 second favourites to be Bale’s next club, with a return to Tottenham 4/1.
Cristiano Ronaldo
A return of Ronaldo to Manchester United could well appeal to the superstar. The 33-year-old has always spoken fondly of his former club and United's huge turnover means they could definitely bankroll a move.
A return to the other side of Manchester have been nowhere near as prevalent, but Pep Guardiola is widely understood to be in the market for a versatile, pacey attacker who can operate across his front three.
A move to any MLS club for Ronaldo is 6/1.
