Gareth Bale could continue playing in Madrid after offering to play for Getafe, according to the club’s president, Ángel Torres. Significant doubts remains over his claim and he said no decision had been made, but on Wednesday Torres announced that he had just spoken to the Welshman’s agent and that “anything is possible”. Getafe’s Coliseum Alfonso Pérez ground, just to the south of the city, is a 20-minute drive from Bale’s home.

During an event to launch Getafe’s kits for next season, Torres was asked by the presenter if Bale could play for the club. Smiling, he looked at his watch and said: “People might take it as a joke but about 45, 50 minutes ago, I spoke to his representative and they have offered him to us.”
