Gareth Bale: Could consider retiring from Football
Gareth Bale will consider retiring from football this summer should Wales fail to qualify for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. The 32-year-old has made just three appearances for Real Madrid this season under Carlo Ancelotti, with his ability to play hampered by persistent injuries.
He is entering the last six months of his current deal, and there are no plans from either club or player to extend that beyond this summer. It means that Bale will become a free agent in June, but his immediate focus is on helping Wales qualify for the 2022 World Cup.
Great to finish off the season with a couple of goals and a win! Thank you for your support throughout the season, it’s always a special feeling to wear this shirt 🤍 #COYS pic.twitter.com/w4P0ouqZlB

Wales are in the play-offs and face a one-legged semi-final at home to Austria, and if successful they’ll welcome either Scotland or Ukraine to Cardiff to vie for a place in Qatar. According to The Athletic, if Wales fail to book their place in the Middle East for November, Bale, who captains his country, will actively consider hanging up his boots.
They report that the player has earned more than enough from his career to ensure any further move in the game would not need to be financially motivated. The report adds that, should Wales be successful, there is no guarantee that Bale would seek out a team at the highest level either, with the concentration purely on keeping fit ahead of the World Cup.
Bale spent last season on loan back at former club Tottenham, where he was praised for the effect he had at lifting the mood around the training ground. He played 34 times for Spurs across all competitions, scoring 16 times during his temporary second spell.
Bale has two La Liga title winners’ medals and has lifted the Champions League four times with Real Madrid, making him one of the most successful British exports of all time.
