British media Daily Mail reported on the 17th (Korean time) that Bale will leave Real when his contract expires this summer. Championship Cardiff is the most likely destination for his next destination, but Wales’ World Cup qualification remains an important variable,’ he said.
Bale joined Real Madrid from Tottenham in 2013. At the time, he was the most expensive transfer fee in Europe at £85 million. Since then, Bale has won countless championships with some of the world’s best teammates, such as Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo. However, as time went on, he was criticized for being a ‘eater’. He was hated by fans for his frequent injuries and his characteristic ‘golf love’. Of course, his position in the team also declined sharply.
In the end, Bale was unable to renew his contract with Real. When this summer comes, he has to leave Real. Real have no intention of catching him. Bale has won 15 trophies, including 4 Champions League titles with Real. After becoming a free agent, there is a lot of interest in Bale coming to the market. His parents, Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle, and American Major League Soccer (MLS) DC United showed interest.
However, the next most likely club appears to be their hometown, Cardiff City, Wales. Local media reported that England’s Championship side Cardiff could sign Bale.
However, there is an important variable in Bale’s Cardiff row. Maybe Bale will just retire. Whether Wales will qualify for the World Cup. Wales are currently on the verge of the World Cup European qualifier play-off pass Group A final. They will play against the winner of the match between Scotland and Ukraine on 6 June. If we win, we can advance to the World Cup. If Wales qualify for the World Cup, Bale will most likely sign a contract with Cardiff. To qualify for the World Cup, you need to maintain your performance. But if Wales were eliminated, there would be no reason for Bale to insist on an extension. You may retire.
