GARETH BALE has teased a future move to the MLS after revealing his love of playing golf in Los Angeles.
SunSport revealed last month that the Wales star will stay at Real Madrid after being told new major signings are on hold amid the coronavirus crisis.

But rumours continue to plague the winger’s future following his continued strained relationship with boss Zinedine Zidane.
Bale, who had been linked with a return to Tottenham last January, had agreed a deal to sign for Chinese club Jiangsu Suning last summer before the move collapsed.
The 30-year-old has now admitted that he could be tempted by a move to the MLS after hailing the growth of football in America.
Speaking to the Hat-Trick podcast presented by the ICC, he said: “I really like the league.
“I think it’s grown so much over the years. When we come over and play them in pre-season, the games are difficult, the standard is getting a lot better.
“The clubs are improving, the facilities are improving, the stadiums are improving.
“I think it’s a league that’s on the up and still rising. I think a lot more players want to come over to America now and play. I would definitely be interested in it.
“I love going to Los Angeles on vacation. I play a lot of golf when I’m there.”
Bale, who still has two years left on his current £650,000-a-week Real deal, has been dubbed “The Golfer” by his team-mates for his love of the sport.
The former Spurs ace has a specially designed three-hole golf course in the back garden of his mansion in Wales.
However, Bale sparked fury among Real fans and the Spanish media last year by celebrating qualifying for Euro 2020 by posing in front of the controversial banner ‘WALES. GOLF. MADRID. IN THAT ORDER.’
He added: “We were just joking around.
“A few of them were saying ‘if we do qualify, let’s try to find it and bring it out. I was like, ‘do what you want but I won’t be going to get it. They found it and brought it down.
“We were all celebrating as a team and I’m not not going to not jump around with my teammates. It was a bit of banter, a bit of fun.”
