Real Madrid star Gareth Bale admits MLS ambition
Real Madrid star Gareth Bale is not ruling out a possible move to the MLS.
There have been plenty of potential suitors for the 30-year-old mentioned, such as his former club Tottenham and more recently, Newcastle United, who are expecting a huge influx of spending money once, and if, their takeover is complete.
However, Bale did not rule out a move over to USA as he told the Hat-Trick podcast: “I really like the league, its grown so much over the years.’
“When we went over to play in pre-season the games were difficult…it’s a league that’s on the up and still rising.”
He added: “A lot more players want to come to America now. I would definitely be interested in it,” he said
Should the former Southampton ace move to the MLS he would be among high profile players who have had to play in the Major league at one time or the other.
