If I'm Bale I just retire, I assume hes only really hanging around for the World Cup, he hasnt played much football in the past few years, doubt hes going to get a contract from Cardiff which will do much for him financially, I'd just retire at 32 and just relax at a good age.
Suppose you could argue milking the cow until retiring at 35 etc isnt much difference, just find Bale in the Championship a bit low for his rep, quality wise its better than the MLS but just seems strange to not be top tier in England at least.

Cardiff makes a lot of sense as Bale only cares about the World Cup at this point in time. Cardiff share training facilities with the Welsh national team so the medical staff can keep a close eye on him and get him prepared. For what it's worth I don't think he will play that much, just here and there for a bit of match sharpness.
Bale only focus is Wales now he'll join Cardiff even for huge paycut wages just to prepare himself for world cup and after that it'll he retire

City signing one of the best Buli keepers to be Back-Up for Ederson. Thought that would have been happy Steffen - Ortega is like the perfect Pep goalkeeper.

As @TornadoTed says he’s only using Cardiff as it’s a local place to get training and some game time before the World Cup.
If we got eliminated by Ukraine I guarantee he’d have retired. Level wise he’s easily PL quality seen as he smashed it for Sp**s the year before last.
Unfortunately his body can’t keep up so he’ll stay sharp for the World Cup then pack it in I reckon.

He's 32, not 60. Football is fun. Football is fun at home or if you go to a place that you wanna live in like LA or NY for Bale. Maybe he thinks more like Iniesta and wants to be surrounded by Japanese Culture. If he still thinks about money at that point tho, he wont find football fun after hes now half the player he used to be..
Steffan looked awful so I'm not surprised. Might go on loan with world cup coming

Nkunku signed a new contract - probably has a high release clause.
Nkunku signed new contract at Leipzig but it include 60M€ release clause.
From this summer or next summer?
I think from next summer bit dumb from thier part if it can be activated this summer
So he's doing the same as Upamecano then. Give them one more year and then go somewhere next summer.
Country: Sweden
That Nkunku extension best thing that could happen. Now he can prove himself for another year and then we can snap him up next summer

I love how footballers don't know how to cross their arms and always look startled doing so.

United has Bruno on a humongous deal until he is an old grey man.

Surely Eriksen wants to know he will play a lot.
Rather than being VdB, Lingard, Mata style bench warmer AMF.

Hinteregger ended his career with 29.
He created some dodgy tournament with someone from the right wing from Austria and had a lot of pressure after that.
Man city will target Joao Felix if G.jesus and Sterling sales completed.
