Gareth Bale has reportedly offered himself to Getafe in his bid to find a new club with his family happy and settled in Madrid.
The 32-year-old is looking for a new club this summer as he prepares to leave Real Madrid when his contract expires after nine years with the club. Fresh from helping Wales qualify for their first World Cup in 64 years, Bale is keen to stay match fit until the tournament in Qatar gets underway in November.
Getafe have now been given the chance to sign Bale, with their stadium just 20 minutes from his home in the Spanish capital.
Club president Angel Torres has confirmed the approach from Bale's representatives, explaining, via the Daily Mail: “I spoke with the player's agent this morning. He has been offered to us. We will consider it. I am going to have to speak to the technical staff.”
