Los Angeles FC hope to have a "long-term" partnership with Gareth Bale.
The Welshman joined the MLS side on an initial one-year deal which could be extended by a further 18 months. The Western Conference leaders are yet to officially announce the capture of Wales star Bale, who himself confirmed he would be moving across the Atlantic after posting a video on his social media channels.
And while Bale will be itching to be at peak condition for the World Cup later this year, LA co-president and general manager John Thorrington is confident the 32-year-old will be eager to remain in America well beyond the Qatar tournament.
