Gareth Bale is one of the most talented and decisive footballers of the last decade, however, after passing through Real Madrid, the feeling remains that the Welsh attacker, despite having had great seasons dressed in white, could have delivered something else and even become one of the historical figures of the institution. The 32-year-old soccer player left the merengue club, after a series of low-profile seasons, and signed with LAFC of Major League Soccer (MLS).
This movement is one of the most surprising so far in the summer market. Bale, despite coming from a few years with a performance marked by injuries and a drop in level, could be a great contract for the Los Angeles team in which Carlos Vela plays and, in general, for the American league. It is becoming more and more common for world stars to arrive in the MLS and each time with a lower average age.
The bet of the Black & Gold is risky in the first instance. In the last season, Gareth Bale barely played 290 minutes in seven games for Real Madrid. The Welshman only scored one goal. Since the end of 2018 the performance of the Welsh winger has dropped drastically.
According to the valuations of the Transfermarkt portal, in December 2018 the footballer’s letter had an approximate value of 80 million euros, currently, at 32 years old, its value is appraised at 3 million euros.
Welshman will play the 2022 Qatar World Cup with Bale as his great banner. If the former Tottenham player manages to connect in search of reaching the World Cup at the best possible level, LAFC’s bet will pay off. So far it is difficult to predict what accounts the attacker will hand over to the Los Angeles team.
Signing such a high-profile player only reaffirms MLS’s position as an increasingly attractive destination for top-tier soccer players. Whether it is because of the economic offers, the quality of life or the growth of the competition, American soccer continues with its progression. How long will it take for Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo to land in this league? We do not know, but it seems that there is not much left.
