golf. Wales. Real Madrid. In that order. As a football retiree, Gareth Bale has removed Real Madrid from the equation, but not football in Wales. Previously, the Welsh icon has been linked with the purchase of Plymouth Argyle, now Sky Sports reports that the focus has turned to Wales.
The proud, but sportingly shaky club Cardiff has had a downward curve since Premier League games in 2018/19. At that time, Brighton were on the right side of the relegation zone, two points ahead of Cardiff. Since this season, Brighton have established themselves in the upper echelons of the Premier League, with player development and recruitment that has generated hundreds of millions of pounds in sales revenue. Cardiff have travelled at the same pace – but south.

Down in League One after relegation last season, it is high time for a change of ownership. Sky Sports reports Bale and an investment group are very interested in buying into Cardiff City. The group has reportedly had an initial “request” to owner Vincent Tan rejected, but is still on the offensive.
“We are interested in Cardiff. It’s my childhood club, it’s where I grew up and my uncle played for them. Being involved in an ownership group would have been a dream come true,” Gareth Bale said.
