With a footballer of the stature of Gareth Bale you don't just share it like that. One of the most expensive passes in football history and with a record in the pass market, he resumed talks with DC United, the club where Peruvian Edison Flores plays and who ran out of technician this week. The Welshman is not considered in Real Madrid, his contract ends in the middle of the year and a juicy offer awaits him in the United States.
As reported by journalist Steven Goff, from The Washington Post in the United States, one of the most recognized media in the world, the striker's representatives spoke again with the squad to listen to offers and see if the pass can be given.
“DC United in talks with Gareth Bale's representatives about moving to MLS, they told me (in fact, they spoke months ago, but they didn't go anywhere). The parties exchange proposals, but it is not clear whether it will accelerate. DCU prepared to pay more than Wayne Rooney in 2018″, you can read in the first tweet written by the communicator.
And he continues in another text, where he names the former University of Deportes player: “It certainly seems very far-fetched, but perhaps some hope for DC United, given that talks have resumed after a long hiatus. The team has been looking for a third striker to join (Edison) Flores y Fountas. We'll see,” he concludes.
BALE'S SITUATION IN MADRID
The striker has only played six games in 2022. He arrived in 2013 from Tottenham in the Premier League and during his first years he won four Champions League, being a figure on several occasions and the main protagonist in some finals. However, in recent years he has stopped playing and has not cared much about the 'merengue' squad. On the other hand, he added just over 22 injuries since his arrival at the 'White House'. Of course, with his team he is always biased and is soon to be part of the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
His contract ends in the middle of the year and from now on some offers for his football quality begin to emerge. Now, his shooting is not one of the best, although he always proves to be at a good level when he enters the courts. His last match was in Real Madrid's 2-0 win over Getafe.
SITUATION OF EDISON FLORES
Edison Flores is not exactly at his best level in his club and in 2022 he has barely played seven games with his team. Only two were the 90 minutes of play: in the 1-0 win against Cincinnati and the duel for the US Open Cup. The other five matches he played this year were with the Peruvian national team, where Ricardo Gareca always trusted him.
In the Peruvian national team it is another story. The winger appeared when the 'bicolor' needed it most, being key in the penultimate double date of the South American Qualifiers heading to Qatar 2022. He scored two goals, one against Colombia and the other against Ecuador, to get four points and put the 'white-roja' to fifth place in the standings.
DC UNITED WITHOUT TECHNICAL
On Wednesday, April 20, DC United decided to fire Argentina's Hernán Losada after a year and three months in office, where he could not win any major title. They are now looking for a new strategist to take care of the remainder of the season, where they rank last in the Eastern Conference. Edison Flores started in the strategist's last game.
