JAKARTA - Gareth Bale is believed to be parting with Real Madrid this summer. The 32-year-old's contract expires on June 30.

This situation is trying to take advantage of the Major League Soccer (MLS) club, DC United. Quoted from SportBible, the club has reportedly held a meeting with Gareth Bale's agent.

Not only that, DC United, the former club that Wayne Rooney played for, also lured Bale with other things. They reportedly promised to pay a higher fee to Bale than the fee Wayne Rooney received at the same club.

Gareth Bale could be interested in this offer. However, there are big considerations that could get in the way of DC United's mission.

The reason is that Bale is rumored to prefer to stay in Spain even though he will not be in Real Madrid's uniform. This is driven by family factors.

Bale once revealed that his family was comfortable living in Spain so he was reluctant to move to another country. That will make it difficult for him to move to Uncle Sam's country.

Bale first joined El Real in 2013. At that time, he became an important pillar of Real Madrid in winning various trophies. However, as time goes by, Bale's performance is getting worse.

The last two seasons have been the worst season for Bale. In fact, throughout the 2021/2022 season, the Welshman only played 7 matches with Real Madrid.
