Gareth Bale set to land in MLS

At the end of his contract with Real Madrid, Gareth Bale is about to join LAFC, according to ESPN and MLSsoccer.com reports. After Giorgio Chiellini last week, Bale is the second name of international fame, linked to the California formation.

Bale wouldn’t take a Designated Player spot. His contract would be for one year and end in June 2023. At the moment, LAFC only has one designated player in Carlos Vela, while MLS allows a maximum of three.

The one who will be 33 in July began his career at Southampton. He then made a name for himself with Tottenham and then with Real Madrid. In 2013, Bale became the most expensive player in history by being transferred for the astronomical sum of $ 139 million.

In Madrid, the forward was capable of both good and bad. He was notably part of the Madrid dynasty in the company of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Sergio Ramos, in particular.

In total, Gareth Bale is five Champions Leagues, four Club World Cups and three La Liga titles.

However, in recent seasons, the one who recently qualified Wales for a first World Cup since 1958 has worn the Merengues jersey very rarely because of his stormy relations with management and coaches.

In 258 outings with Real, he scored 106 goals and delivered 67 assists.

Gareth Bale and Giorgio Chiellini would be available for the derby against LA Galaxy on July 8.
