Has apparently offered himself to Getafe now. Angel Torres has confirmed he has talked with Bale's agent for 45 minutes.
Must really like golf courses in Madrid, lol.
How surrealistic, Bale to fucking GETAFE lol. He'll want to keep up his form ahead of Qatar but at the same time not want to risk any injury. Will be interesting to see how often he'll play.
Don't often see these temporary transfers. Other one I can think of is Hamsik joining Gothenburg ahead of the Euros last year. He played 6 games for them.

It's smart if he plans on living in Madrid after his career. He'll probably play a few games for them until the WC, play in the WC than fake an injury until the end of the season and then retire. Why move the family for a year just for a million € more? He's got no sporting ambitions in club football anymore. Suarez could do something similar too and stay somewhere in Spain (don't rule out Xavi wanting him if Lewa or Morata don't come).

Also, iirc Spain citizenship takes 10 years for non latins, so he still need another year to apply for it

Wow, I didn't realize he already lived in Spain for 9 years. Time really does fly.

in his last years at Real definitely but at Tottenham and his first 3 seasons at Real + for Wales he looked like a player with passion

Should have offered himself to Rayo and play for a decent club for once.

I think he can already live in Spain for the rest of his life if he wants.
At a conservative estimate there are 370,000 UK nationals residing in Spain. If you are one of them and you have been living in Spain lawfully for at least five years, you will be able to apply for indefinite permission to reside there, in Spanish ?permiso de residencia de larga duraci?n?. That will mean that you will be able to remain in Spain indefinitely provided you renew your residency card every five years (or 10 years in the event that you are a UK national or the spouse of a UK national to whom the 10 year ?permiso de residencia de larga duraci?n? applies).

And it's not like he'll actually need to "work" again in his life, he can just retire under Spanish sun without needing a work permit.
In addition to the requirements for indefinite permission to reside, those applying for a right to live in Spain without permission to work need to show that they do not suffer from any illness that may be a serious public risk, such as smallpox, or Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), as well as others. Curiously, it will also be necessary to show a significantly higher disposable income than that required for indefinite permission to reside, in that the head of the family will need to show monthly income of at least ?2,259.60 and for each dependent a further ?564.90.
