Gareth Bale will be leaving Real Madrid in the summer when his contract runs out. The manager of the first team, Carlo Ancelotti has all but confirmed the decision himself.
The Welshman has found himself on the bench for increasing amounts of time, and could potentially choose to retire in the summer.
Gareth Bale to leave Madrid in the summer
Here is what Carlo Ancelotti had to say about the player’s future at the club:
“His contract is about to end and it could be that he didn’t have much motivation in recent times.
“Now he’s feeling good, and he wants to end his time here as he deserves, because Bale has brought many titles to this club.
“He helped the club to win the Champions League and Copa Del Rey titles, so I think that ending his time here on a high would be good for his career.
“I speak with him just like I try and speak with everyone else, trying to get the best out of them, listen to their problems, and that’s it.
Gareth Bale’s injuries have continued to take a toll on him, and has resulted in a physical decline for the player as well. He is keen to represent Wales in the World Cup later this year. But, they will have to go through the qualifiers in Spring.
If Wales fail to qualify for the World Cup, it is very likely that Bale will be hanging up his boots. But if they do, he might join a Championship club like Swansea or Cardiff to keep himself ready for the World Cup. A return to former club Tottenham Hotspur is also on the cards if they perform well in the qualifiers.
