Bale Faces Rival Bids in Cardiff City Takeover

Gareth Bale, the former Real Madrid and Wales star, is leading a consortium that has submitted a new, reportedly 'more than fair' offer to purchase Cardiff City from owner Vincent Tan. Bale has stressed his commitment to taking a hands-on role in the club's future, aiming to guide Cardiff back to the Premier League. While Bale's group awaits a response, Vincent Tan—having invested over £200 million since 2010—is reportedly reluctant to sell. Other well-funded groups have also expressed interest in buying the club, but Bale maintains that Cardiff is his sole focus. Cardiff City, recently relegated to League One and now under head coach Brian Barry-Murphy, has not commented on the takeover bid. The outcome of the proposed sale remains uncertain as Tan considers his options.
