Gareth Bale

Welsh soccer star Gareth Bale will be joining LAFC on a one-year deal after his current contract with Real Madrid expires later this month.

“In the end this is a business. The signing of Bale is one of the most significant in LAFC’s short history. Vela, who scored 34 times in leading LAFC to a Supporters’ Shield in 2019, was the most expensive player in MLS last season with a salary of $6.5 million. The Welsh captain played a career-low seven games for Real Madrid last season and a repeat of that would have left him unfit. A more likely target for his debut would be July 8, when LAFC plays host to the Galaxy. That comes just days before the team is expected to announce a contract extension for captain Carlos Vela, a former league MVP.

Next season, the 30-year-old is no more likely to take PSG to the next level than he was earlier in his career. Betting too much on one player has been a problem, and the same approach has also put unnecessary pressure on him at World Cups, which hasn’t worked out. What’s also crazy is how Real has gone on to win more trophies with him on the sidelines, a peripheral figure to whom they can still afford to pay high wages. As Diario AS wrote earlier this month, a curse (Spanish) seems to have fallen over the majority of signings costing over €100 million ($106 million), of which there have been 12 so far. Combined, Real and PSG have spent well over €300 million ($317 million) in upfront fees for the players mentioned, plus much more in wages. Yet, with discontent never far away from both players, they each represent the same curious reality within super clubs today, which has been growing in relevance for a while—that money is virtually boundless, and what it brings is never enough.

Gareth Bale is understood to have agreed to join Major League Soccer side Los Angeles FC on an initial one-year deal when his contract with Real Madrid ...

I need time to think what’s the best move for me, my family, my kids, and hopefully we’ll sort that over the summer. I feel like I’ll never really lose my quality on the ball. Last week, Bale had excited Cardiff fans by visiting the Championship club’s Vale of Glamorgan base on their first day of pre-season training.

LAFC is close to a deal to bring Real Madrid and Wales star Gareth Bale to Major League Soccer, sources have told ESPN.

In 2019, Bale was on the verge of joining Chinese Super League side Jiangsu Suning, but the move broke down in the final stages after his agent, Jonathan Barnett, said Madrid changed their mind. In eight seasons with Real Madrid, Bale was part of five Champions League-winning sides and won LaLiga on three occasions. He was whistled by fans at the Bernabeu after he had been pictured with a banner that read: "Wales. Golf. Madrid. In that Order" while celebrating with international teammates in November 2019. Bale scored twice in the 2018 Champions League final against Liverpool, including a spectacular overhead kick, but by that time his injury problems had become more frequent and his relationship with then-manager Zinedine Zidane had begun to suffer. He was initially a key member of the team, scoring in their Champions League and Copa del Rey final wins in his first season and forming a formidable front three alongside Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema. Sources told ESPN that Bale will fly out at the end of the week after a short break and sign a deal until the end of this season with the option of another year.

LOS ANGELES — Le Los Angeles FC aurait poursuivi ses emplettes en mettant le grappin sur l'ancien prestigieux ailier du Real Madrid Gareth Bale.

L’annonce survient un peu moins de deux semaines après que le défenseur de la Juventus de Turin Giorgio Chiellini eut quitté le club pour se greffer au LAFC. Chiellini a été capitaine de la «Vieille Dame» pendant les quatre dernières années et a également mené l’Italie au titre européen l’été dernier. Les détails de l’entente n’ont pas encore été dévoilés. Le capitaine de la sélection nationale galloise a gazouillé samedi une vidéo de lui arborant le maillot du LAFC et a accompagné le tweet du message : «On se voit bientôt Los Angeles».

He also had a poor relationship with Madrid-based Spanish newspaper, Marca. The Athletic’s Dermot Corrigan detailed the entire saga in March of this year. He was almost sold after a disappointing debut season, with Birmingham City interested in signing Bale for £3 million, and former Spurs manager Martin Jol turning down the chance to take him to Hamburg. It makes the award look a little diminished, although it was obviously a great goal by Salah.” Is that a four iron? That was the way I was brought up, passing the ball. Is that a sand wedge? But Bale’s was a little more significant (with apologies to Lee Redmond, whose fingernails are an impressive 28 cumulative feet). Quite the haul, considering he began life as a left-back who specialised in free-kicks. Bale told FourFourTwo: “Yeah, I was surprised by that, to be honest. Goals against England. A World Cup berth. He also ran an 11.4-second 100m at the age of only 14. A European Championship semi-final.

Même si sportivement, la MLS se rajeunit, des joueurs emblématiques comme Bale ont encore leur place.

Cela permet de former au plus haut niveau les meilleurs jeunes d’Amérique du Nord, et de faire progresser les équipes nationales des États-Unis et du Canada, qui viennent de se qualifier pour la Coupe du monde au Qatar. C'est un nouveau retournement de situation dans la suite de la carrière du Gallois. Un contrat de 12 mois lie le Gallois au club californien, avec une option de prolongation de 18 mois supplémentaires jusqu’à la fin de la saison de la MLS en 2024.
