This puts an end to weeks of speculation as to which option will be chosen by one of the best European players in the past ten years.A reminder – Bale’s contract with Real Madrid expired this summer and he was free to choose a new environment. First came the shocking news that he could stay in Madrid and sign for Getafe. Then there were rumors about his return to Southampton, where he grew up, and in the previous days, he was called by a club from his hometown of Cardiff. However, the Welshman decided on probably the most lucrative offer of all.Sun 22:00: (1.99) Los Angeles (3.50) New York (3.90)The contract has not been signed yet, but everything is in the final phase and the cooperation should be formalized in the coming days.Bale is the second big name of European football that arrived in Los Angeles this summer.

LAFC already has Chiellini on the squad list pic.twitter.com/TjZoFXcXG3— The thinker man (@kwekuedilson) June 25, 2022 Bale spent nine years at Real Madrid, won five Champions Leagues with the Royal Club, three Spanish championship titles, the Copa del Rey… He played 256 games and scored 106 goals. Although it was speculated that he could end his club career, he decided not to do that. He qualified for the World Cup in Qatar with Wales and he needed a club where he would stay in shape. The American MLS league does not offer exactly the quality of football as the strongest European leagues, but Bale has so far shown that his club form is irrelevant in order to play at the top level in the national team.
