Gareth Bale considering retirement if Wales fail to qualify for the World Cup as his Real Madrid contract expires in the summer
Real Madrid’s Gareth Bale is looking to hang up his boots at the age of 32 if Wales fail to qualify for the this year’s World Cup in Qatar. His contract at Real Madrid is expires at the end of the season, with the winger Welsh far from renewing his contract with the Los Blancos.
Wales are up against Austria in a one-off playoff at Cardiff in March, should they get past Austria they will then set a showdown with either or Scotland or Ukraine for a place at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar at the end of the year. Wales are yet to make an appearance at the World Cup since 1958 and Gareth Bale will surely want to represent his country at the biggest stage of them all.
However if it does not go as planned then the winger is considering to end his playing career at the end of the season. Bale moved to Real Madrid for a then world-record fee in 2013 and has won four Champions League and two La Liga titles. Since then the player has become out of favour in the recent seasons and as a result spent the 2020/21 season on loan at Spurs.
Is Gareth Bale making the right decision to retire at the age of 32 ?
It is rather sad to see a player like Gareth Bale consider to retire at just 32. However the Welshman is considering a move to Premier League or a Championship club in the summer should Wales make it to the World Cup to get enough game time and stay fit to help his national team. A move to Swansea and Cardiff City is on the cards.
