LAFC is finalizing a deal to sign Gareth Bale on a free transfer following the expiration of his contract with Real Madrid, according to reports in the United States. The Welshman has been exploring his options ahead of November's World Cup in Qatar and it now appears a new challenge in MLS awaits the 32-year-old as he looks to keep his fitness up to date ahead of the tournament later this year.
The former Tottenham winger was at Cardiff City training ground earlier this week to discuss a sensational return to home soil, but it appears the Bluebirds have now fallen short in their attempts to bring Bale to the club.
He had extensive talks with Cardiff boss Steve Morison but the Championship side have struggled to match the lucrative proposal on the table from across the Atlantic.
