Thorrington considered that LAFC represented a “unique opportunity” for Bale, for what you need for this new step in your career.
“The process was as follows. Immediately after the match in which Wales qualified for the World Cup we were in contact with Gareth’s representative. We talked about the opportunity here, unique in my opinion for Gareth.”Thorrington said.
“And it was also important what Gareth needed in the next step of his career. It was a perfect combination for what he wants for the World Cup and for usfor what he can hit us on the pitch,” Thorrington added.
