this week following the news that the Welsh player had donated half a million
euro to hospitals in his adopted city of Madrid along with 500,000 pounds to

an emphasis in his commitment to the
Spanish capital, the player simply wanted to make a generous donation to two
cities that have shaped his life. As his agent Jonathan Barnett explained to AS
in a recent interview: ‘Gareth loves Madrid and his lifestyle there.

His relationship with coach Zidane is
far from buoyant and this factor was instrumental in a failed move to Chinese
Super League side Jiangsu Suning last summer. The move ultimately floundered
and the French coach opted to player the Welsh striker along with Eden Hazard
and Karim Benzema with the 2019/20 season being a disappointment for the
player. As things stand, Bale is determined to see out his deal with the
Spanish side. In his time wearing the famous white shirt, the 30-year-old has
played in 249 games for Madrid bagging
105 goals in that time, with three coming in
Champions League finals.
