Gareth Bale

It promises to be a busy summer for Cardiff City as Steve Morison looks to rebuild and reshape his squad ahead of the new season.

Out of contract at the end of the campaign, he could leave for free but his recent comments hint that he wants to stay with the club. Reports have even suggested that a move to Turkey could well be on the cards. Cardiff are one of several clubs understood to have taken an interest, although they might well have a task on their hands if they are to land the midfielder. He will surely be seeking a loan away to gain further first-team experience, having already enjoyed stints at Accrington Stanley and Cambridge United. Steve Morison has already confirmed that Smithies will be leaving south Wales, and it seems Alnwick is likely to come in as a replacement. The forward has caught the eye of West Bromwich Albion, while Nottingham Forest have also been mentioned as a possible destination. He's clearly a player that's caught the eye in the third tier, despite Oxford's play-off hopes falling by the wayside. Levitt himself has recently said that he expects some movement on his future in the next couple of weeks, having enjoyed a successful loan spell at Dundee United this season. The talks should be in the next couple of weeks but I haven't heard anything yet. I think in the next two or three weeks they have to say or contact me.” Clearly Bale would need to make concessions on his current salary, which is currently believed to be around £580,000 a week. Bale is poised to finally leave Real Madrid, and Cardiff are one of several sides mentioned as a possible destination.
