Bale assured that his retirement will be postponed for a while. After that, the main problem was that the former Tottenham player was without a team and needed to be signed by one to arrive in top condition for Qatar 2022.

Rumors began to link him to Getafe, Tottenham, and Cardiff City, but today it was revealed where Bale will play next season, and it is none of those teams.
