Gareth Bale could decide against returning to LAFC and instead exercise a break clause that was included in his deal in the wake of Wales' nightmare World Cup campaign.
The 33-year-old penned a lucrative 18 month deal with the MLS Cup winners back in the summer in a bid to stay fresh for the tournament in Qatar, but he struggled for regular minutes. There had been speculation that Bale would consider all his options, including retirement, after the World Cup.
Wales were eliminated following a thumping 3-0 defeat against England on Monday night. Bale netted from the spot in Wales' opening draw with the USMNT, but was withdrawn at half-time of the England match after struggling with an injury and failed to make an impact in the shock 2-0 defeat to Iran.
