Nottingham Forest enter fray for Bale signing
Media Wales
Gareth Bale has officially played his final game for Real Madrid, with the world's eyes now zeroed in on where his next destination will be.
The Wales captain, 32, bowed out by earning his fifth Champions League winners' medal in Paris following Real Madrid's 1-0 win over Liverpool on Saturday night. Bale played no part, but picked up a medal owing to featuring earlier in the tournament.
His focus now, of course, will be on Wales and that all-important World Cup play-off final against either Scotland or Ukraine in Cardiff on June 5. Only after that game, we are told, will Bale make his decision over where he plays next.
Cardiff are heavily fancied, indeed they are the bookmakers' favourites at 1/3, however other clubs in the MLS and also Tottenham and Newcastle are mentioned in dispatches. However, in recent days Nottingham Forest have shot out of nowhere and into the odds list, now priced at 10/1 with Cooper a big admirer of Bale and a friend.
Forest promoted to the Premier League after beating Huddersfield Town.

Cardiff 1/3

Nottingham Forest 10/1
Newcastle 12/1
Atletico Madrid 16/1
Southampton 20/1

Exactly how appealing playing for a Premiership cannon fodder team to which he has no alegience, getting battered every week.

Too right. I’m sure Luton would have been linked if they’d gone up too

I can understand if he goes to Spurs or Southampton. I can even understand if he goes to Newcastle if they chuck money at him. I can understand how the MLS would appeal (less so). I can DEFINITELY understand him coming here of course.
But Forest??? Why would he?? Awful, lazy journalism.
