Bale finds team
The situation
Ever since Gareth Bale made his goodbye to Real Madrid official, his future has been in question. A few days ago he appeared training with Cardiff City in his hometown, a team that plays in the Championship and that was perceived as a viable option to prepare for the upcoming World Cup in Qatar. However, his destiny, according to Tom Bogert, an insider specialist in the MLS, and AS has been able to confirm, will be in the North American competition. In Los Angeles FC more specifically. The agreement is in its final stretch and will take the winger to MLS until next summer, with a one-year contract and another more optional one , which will allow him to reach the World Cup that starts in November in a good competitive tone and rhythm. As well as being free to decide his future again in the summer of 2023. Remarkable detail, since the seasons in the MLS are in a calendar year and, if he put an end to his adventure at 12 months, he would leave the Los Angeles team midway through the course , ready to start another chapter in European football if he sees fit. Bale led the Dragons to the second World Cup in their history, the first since 1958, thanks to two great performances in the final playoff against Switzerland and Ukraine. After that, he went on vacation as a free footballer. “Making this decision is going to be hugely important.
The details
I need to make sure I’m playing and being as fit as possible. Coming into this camp now (training with his team), he wasn’t in shape at all. I haven’t really looked at everything yet. I know possible destinations, but it is something that I need to sit down with, first and foremost with my family, and then I need to talk to managers and physiotherapists and decide what is best for me”, he commented on the matter once he achieved his goal with Wales.Those talks have come to a common point and he will try his luck away from European football. Of course, in one of the leading teams in the MLS. It will be the second bombastic star to announce the project founded in 2014 and incorporated into the MLS in 2018, one of the most ambitious in the league: on June 13 they made the signing of Giorgio Chiellini official . In fact, both Bale and the 37-year-old Italian center-back could debut in their new jersey on July 9, in a derby against the Los Angeles Galaxy , Bogert adds.
