“ Gareth Bales Decision on his future “

Wed Mar 30, 2022 4:30 pm

Gareth Bale will wait until Wales discover their World Cup fate before making a decision on his club future.

Bale, 32, scored two brilliant goals in Wales' World Cup play-off semi-final win over Austria last Thursday to set up a final against Scotland or Ukraine.



Wednesday 30th March 2022



That one-off tie has been postponed because of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, with the final now likely to be played in June.

Bale's contract at Real Madrid expires at the end of this season.




"We have not discussed anything yet," Bale's agent, Jonathan Barnett, told BBC Sport Wales.

"Once we know Wales' situation with the World Cup, we will discuss it then."




Gareth Bale: Maligned Real Madrid star proves Wales' saviour again

Bale will leave Real Madrid when his contract, worth an estimated £600,000 per week, ends this summer.

He has won 14 trophies during his nine years with Real, including four Champions League titles, but he has faced criticism in Spain for his injury record and perceived greater commitment to Wales.

That escalated last week when Spanish newspaper Marca described Bale as a "parasite", prompting a strong response from the Wales captain who also faced calls on Spanish television for Madrid to sack him before his contract expires.

Bale's relationship with Real has deteriorated in recent years and he was close to moving to China in 2019 before his transfer to Jiangsu Suning fell through.

I think signing him would disruptive for the squad which is young and developing , he'd not be able to play every game, would be on stupid money compared to other players ,that in turn could cause envy and disruption within in the squad .

Think of possible positives? Can inspire the younger players....bring experience to the young squad...... add numbers to crowd for awhile at least .... with sponsorship and his wealth wont cost club as much as it did real Madrid? :laughing6:
And could do a bellers and drag us kicking and screaming to premier league. :old:
