Gareth Bale leaves Real Madrid after 9 years at Santiago Bernabeu
Gareth Bale joined Real Madrid back in 2013 under Carlo Ancelotti for a then-record fee of €104 million. While his last few years at the club weren’t the best, he still became a world-class winger and a serial winner with the Los Blancos.
Gareth Bale made 258 appearances for Real Madrid in his time at the club. Scoring 106 goals and providing 67 assists in his time. He also went on to win 5 Champions Leagues, 4 Club World Cups, 3 UEFA Super Cups, 3 La Liga titles, 1 Copa del Rey and 2 Spanish Super Cups.
The 32-year-old spoke in 2020 to the hat-trick podcast about his wish to play in America. He said back then, “I really like the league. I think it’s grown so much over the years. When we come over and play them in pre-season, the games are difficult, the standard is getting a lot better.”
“The clubs are improving, the facilities are improving, the stadiums are improving. I think it’s a league that’s on the up and still rising. I think a lot more players want to come over to America now and play. I would definitely be interested in it.”
“I love going to Los Angeles on holiday. I play a lot of golf. I’ve played Pebble [Beach] a couple of times. I played Cypress Point which is a private members’ club which is next to Pebble Beach – that was probably the best course I’ve ever played so far.”
