Cardiff have not commented on the reports that emerged concerning a bid for the club newly relegated from the Championship, but it is understood the proposal did not reach boardroom discussion stage.<\/p>\n
Bale, whose uncle Chris Pike played for the Bluebirds between 1989 and 1993, had been linked with a move to Cardiff as a player in the build-up to the 2022 World Cup,<\/p>\n
But the five-time Champions League winner with Real Madrid opted to join Major League Soccer side (MLS) side Los Angeles FC and retired from football in January 2023.<\/p>\n
“I can’t really say too much but what I can say is we are interested in getting Cardiff and obviously it’s my home club, where I grew up, my uncle used to play for them,” Bale added.<\/p>\n
“So yeah to be involved with an ownership group would be a dream come true.<\/p>\n
“It’s a club close to my heart, it’s where I grew up. I would love to be able to be a part of growing Cardiff and taking it to the Premier League where it belongs.<\/p>\n
“I know how amazing the Welsh fans, the Cardiff fans are and it would be amazing to try and do stuff together.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cardiff have not commented on the reports that emerged concerning a bid for the club newly relegated from…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":208771,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5010],"tags":[748,4884,16,15,1764],"class_list":{"0":"post-208770","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wales","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-great-britain","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-wales"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114735026451007912","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208770","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=208770"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208770\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/208771"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=208770"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=208770"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=208770"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
