The journalist writes that Kaka wanted to return to his home to be close to his Pilates teacher, but Bale has told the Brazilian that he wants to stay there.

It remains to be seen if a club in or around Madrid will be able to offer Bale a satisfactory deal and grant him his wish of preparing for Qatar 2022 without uprooting his life.
