The president of Getafe reveals that he has been offered the signing of Bale

Gareth Bale could not move from the Community of Madrid after ending his contract with Real Madrid this June. The president of Getafe, Ángel Torres, revealed this Wednesday that the Welshman's representative, Jonathan Barnett, has offered him the signing of the former Madrid player for next season. The president will consult with the sports management and with the coach, Quique Sánchez Flores, about his incorporation.

"Someone can take it as a joke but 45 or 50 minutes ago I spoke with his representative and they offered it to us. It is not an invention. I have found out the reasons for wanting to stay, I have to think about it and talk to the coach", said the leader after presenting the jerseys for the next season of the 'azulón' team.

"I don't know if he is going to come. All good footballers are a possibility. They have offered it to me, I have kindly listened, and from there I will consult with the sports management and the coach. Anything is possible," concluded Torres, who announced several changes to prevent Getafe from suffering again to maintain the category.

Bale has barely participated in seven games this season, five in the League and two in the Champions League with a total of 290 minutes. His balance is only one goal against Levante. Precisely his last appearance for white was against Getafe last April, when he played 16 minutes in the matchday 31 match of the Santander League.

The Madrid coach, Carlo Ancelotti, had the Welsh player at the start of the season, with three starts in the first three league games, but later lost confidence in the striker, even when the squad was severely depleted by injuries and barely had effective in the attacking plot.

In his last seasons at the Chamartín club, the non-sporting aspects of the Briton have been more news than his participation on the field. He was blamed for a lack of commitment to the team, especially for his attitude in the stands and for leaving the field before the end of the games, and it even transpired that he was making fun of Madrid, especially after his famous Welsh flag containing the phrase "Wales. Golf. Madrid. In that order (In that order)".

However, Bale did not take these criticisms into account in his farewell letter from Madrid. "Being part of the history of this club and achieving everything we have achieved together at Real Madrid has been an incredible experience that I will never forget," wrote the 32-year-old from Cardiff, who, among other titles, has won five Champions League with the whites.
