Real Madrid: Farewell to Gareth Bale confirmed – “Will regret it”

According to the consultant, the future is open

Gareth Bale will leave Real Madrid nine years after his €101m transfer. What had become apparent was confirmed by his advisor Jonathan Barnett (ICM Stellar Sports) in an interview with “Deportes Cuatro“. “He deserves a good farewell from the club,” said Barnett. How things will continue for Bale is open. “We haven’t made a decision about the future yet.”

The attacker has only played four out of 30 possible LaLiga games this season – also due to injury – and has only appeared once in the Champions League. Bale has faced heavy criticism from fans and the media. The Madrid-based sports newspaper “Marca” recently presented him in words and pictures as a blood-sucking parasite in the form of a mosquito that sucks out Real Madrid – a metaphor for the salary of the first 100 million transfer in football history, which has been in Madrid since 2016 should earn around 30 million euros gross per season.

“In the next 20 years, fans will see how good Bale was and they will regret it,” Barnett said of the criticism of his protégé. Bale has played a total of 256 games for Real Madrid since 2013, in which he was directly involved in 173 goals. The Welshman won 17 titles with the Royals. “Bale doesn’t have to prove anything to the fans anymore. He hasn’t done anything wrong. He’s a quiet guy who doesn’t want to talk to the press, he just wants to play football. Why would he explain himself?” Barnett asked.

Treatment of Bale by some fans and media at Real Madrid ‘a disgrace’

The relationship with those responsible for the club was always “very good”, Real President Florentino Pérez “very loyal and supportive”. It is also not true that Bale cannot speak Spanish. “It happens that people who don’t know him say so. Stupid and ignorant people who didn’t talk to him. It’s a shame. He felt very comfortable in Madrid, he came here when he was young, his children were born here, he has donated a lot of money to Spanish hospitals during the Covid pandemic and he loves the city and the club. I think it’s the parasites that are badmouthing him,” Barnett pointed out.

Bale’s agent does not expect the striker to play in the Champions League quarterfinals against Chelsea on Wednesday (9:00 p.m.). “I don’t think Bale will play,” Barnett said. “You have to ask Ancelotti why he doesn’t play. It’s not Gareth Bale’s decision. I can’t criticize Ancelotti, but it’s his choice.”
