Gareth Bale: LAFC Contract, Salary, Wife, Dates Joined, Transfermarkt
In order to get regular playing time before the World Cup, Gareth Bale has confirmed he has joined MLS team Los Angeles FC, putting an end to speculation over his future.
LAFC Contract:
According to a number of sources, Gareth Bale has decided to leave Real Madrid after nine years and join Los Angeles FC on a free transfer.
The five-time Champions League winner had been linked with a return to Tottenham Hotspur as well as a transfer to Cardiff City, but he has opted to make the journey across the Atlantic on a deal that will initially last for a year and may be extended for an additional 18 months.
Salary:
As of 2022, Gareth Bale earns a salary of 31.2 million GBP.
Bale will not be a designated player, according to a Los Angeles Times story, and his annual compensation will be just over $1.6 million.
In contrast to Bale’s reported salary at Real Madrid, which was $20.3 million, it is a very little sum.
It’s important to keep in mind that he obtained that wage after signing a deal in 2017 when still in his prime, and that he will soon join LAFC at the age of close to 33.
Wife:
Gareth Bale is married to Emma Rhys-Jones
For more than ten years, Emma Rhys-Jones has been with Gareth Bale.
She was raised in Llanishen, a neighbourhood in north Cardiff a few kilometres from Bale’s home. While attending Whitchurch High School in the early 2000s, the couple started dating.

The Athletic reported on Saturday that Gareth Bale has decided to sign a one-year deal with Los Angeles FC in Major League Soccer (MLS) with an option for an additional 18 months. Bale will thus join the pantheon of football greats to make a stop in North America.
The 32-year-old, who prioritised regular football in his quest for form before this winter’s World Cup, is reportedly the subject of interest from clubs all over the world.
