Cardiff City are reportedly stepping up their pursuit of Gareth Bale.The Wales international has just finished his contract with Real Madrid and so now clubs are actively trying to sign him. Surprisingly, it's the Bluebirds who are really making an attempt on the former Tottenham player, with their chairman Mehmet Dalman flying into the UK to begin negotiations for the attacker.The 32-year-old will be available on a free transfer but his wages might prove a sticking issue. Bale - who won an incredible five Champions League titles with Los Blancos - recently admitted that there are a number of clubs already after his signature.

Wrexham owner Rob McElhenney has hinted at a daring approach for Gareth Bale with the Welsh superstar set to finally leave Real Madrid when his contract expires at the end of the month.Bale, whose deflected free-kick against Ukraine on Sunday saw Wales qualify for the World Cup for the first time in 64 years, was asked after the game about his future where he claimed he'd received "loads" of offers, and McElhenney - who co-owns Wrexham with fellow actor Ryan Reynolds - playfully suggested that one of those offers was from them.Responding to a tweet which asked "Where will we see Gareth Bale next season?" McElhenney joked: "I’ve got a few ideas."McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds took control of Wrexham in February 2021 by investing £2million into the club and have overseen a significant uptick in their fortunes.

Gareth Bale quipped that he would be delaying his retirement "for a little bit" after he fired Wales to their first World Cup in 64 years on Sunday night.Speculation had been rife that the Real Madrid star - who is set to become a free agent at the end of the month when his deal at the Bernabeu expires - would retire if Wales had failed to qualify for yet another World Cup. But the 32-year-old stepped up when his country needed him most to fire in the free-kick that was deflected past Ukraine goalkeeper Heorhiy Bushchan to make history.And after ending over half a century of pain with a slender 1-0 win, Bale made it clear that any potential retirement plans have been shelved as he prepares to jet off to Qatar later this year with Rob Page's side.When Bale was asked if the result meant he would be delaying his retirement, the Welsh wizard replied with a smile: "For a little bit!"A host of clubs have been linked with signing Bale, who is expected to link up with a new side in order to keep himself ticking over ahead of the World Cup in November.

Gareth Bale was the hero once again as Wales claimed a 1-0 play-off win over Ukraine to secure their spot in the 2022 World Cup and set up a meeting with England in Qatar.In a sodden Cardiff City stadium, Ukraine had the better of the opening exchanges, with Viktor Tsyhankov, Roman Yaremchuk and Oleksandr Zinchenko all forcing Wales stopper Wayne Hennessey into saves early on. However, once again, it was Bale who would produce the game's defining moment of brilliance.The Welsh captain saw his fizzed free-kick deflect in off West Ham's Andriy Yarmolenko as the Dragons opened the scoring shortly after the half-hour mark.

He was won the La Liga title three times, but his career in the Spanish top-flight is already over before the final day.Carlo Ancelotti opted to leave Bale out of his squad for Madrid's final league game of the campaign against Real Betis on Friday. Though he could feature in the Champions League final next Saturday, that would be unlikely, with attention now turning towards his future.If Wales qualify for this winter's World Cup, it is expected that Bale will carry on playing for another season.

Stephen Robinson admits St Mirren's star keeper Jak Alnwick will be a tough act to follow.
