Gareth Bale has reiterated his desire to buy a football club after launching a new sports investment fund and has refused to rule out making a fresh move for Cardiff City.
The former Real Madrid and Wales star was frustrated last summer when Bluebirds owner Vincent Tan rejected an offer from the investment group Bale was working with to take control of his hometown club.
Bale, who retired from playing in January 2023, has now formed a sports fund with American private equity firm Juggernaut Capital, which plans to invest in teams and leagues in both men’s and women’s sports.
“It’s about being patient, finding the right club, and the right path for us to take,” Bale told US media organisation Front Office Sports.
“That doesn’t mean Cardiff is off the table. But I think now we have a bit of time, and will look around.”
