After this season, Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale's contract expires, prompting many to predict that he may hang up his boots if Wales fail to go to the World Cup in Qatar this November.

No teams in particular have been prominently associated with the former Spurs man, but that will undoubtedly change if he decides to continue his career, as the Welshman's quality is still visible when he represents his country.

The Real Madrid star is still a key member of Wales' national team and one of their greatest players, as evidenced by the 32-year-courageous old's performance in last month's 2-1 win over Austria.

"If we go to the World Cup in November, then he will absolutely be playing football," Page said in an interview with The Athletic. His dream is to play in the World Cup, which is the only thing lacking from his resume."

"I'm not sure where he'll play. I have no idea whether he returns home, stays in Spain, or seeks a new challenge."

Bale will decide on his long-term future after Wales' World Cup decider this summer against either Scotland or Ukraine, according to the Daily Mail. Jonathan Barnett, the Welsh international's agent, maintains that there is "a lot of interest" in him, but that they "haven't done anything" yet.

Bale has appeared in 176 games for Real Madrid, scoring 81 goals in the process for the La Liga champions. Despite the fact that his trophy cabinet at Real Madrid is impressive, and he has enjoyed some memorable individual moments during his time with the club, the Welshman's relationship with Madrid fans has soured in recent years, owing to what appears to be a lack of motivation on his part as a result of his previous club's relegation.

Because of his apparent lack of enthusiasm, it will be intriguing to watch where the 32-year-old ends up in the next months.
