The Welshman signs a one-year deal with California’s MLS franchise that will see him reach the World Cup in Qatar
Gareth Bale has already found a destination for next season. Gone are the rumors of a bizarre signing for Getafe or a return home via Cardiff or the Championship, the second tier of English football. The Welshman is finally embarking on the American adventure of joining Los Angeles FC, an MLS franchise he is signing for one season with the aim of reaching the Qatar World Cup in top form and continuing his career in American football.
The ‘Cardiff Express’ is thus stepping aside and leaving football from the Old Continent for football in development but with less competitive pressure. The last three seasons, including a 2020-21 loan spell with Tottenham, the club from which he made the jump to Real Madrid in 2013, have shown that the Wales southpaw is already a long way from the demands of the first tier, especially in terms of his attitude towards football.
The signing confirms the ambition of the fledgling Los Angeles franchise, which debuted in the MLS in 2018 and is steadily progressing through the current U.S. Soccer Championship, scoring 30 points in 15 games and leading the Western Conference, as well as having the best balance of the entire competition. In the great Californian city, Bale will meet another illustrious player, such as Italian central defender Giorgio Chiellini.
