Liverpool FC Opinion: Why shouldn’t the Reds sign Gareth Bale?
According to BBC Football, Real Madrid outcast Gareth Bale has been linked with a shocking move to Liverpool after getting to know that he has no place under Zinedine Zidane’s playing 11.
The Welsh forward endured an erratic campaign the last term, where he often found himself at the fringes after falling down the pecking order of the French manager.
The ex-Spurs man has been subject to transfer interests from various clubs including the likes of Manchester United, Bayern Munich and Tottenham (h/t BBC Football).
Bale’s eventful season in Spain
The 30-year-old was found insipid in which turned out to be a horrible season for Los Blancos, where they recorded more defeats in the La Liga and also got knocked out of the UCL prematurely.
As far as individual stats are concerned, Bale garnered 14 goals and 7 assists in 42 appearances, a less-appealing stat for a player of his standard. The notable fact is that he appeared as a substitute on eight occasions.
Making the situation worse, the Welsh forward later had a rift with Zidane, who has insisted that the former’s exit would be certainly be in the best of everyone’s interest. (h/t BBC Football)
Why Bale would be a misfit for Liverpool?
Elsewhere at Anfield, the Reds’ attacking trio of Salah, Firmino and Sadio Mane looks unbreakable at the moment. Jurgen Klopp also has enough back-up options like Shaqiri and Divock Origi.
With that being said, the Welsh international would end up as a misfit under the German manager. His chances of getting a place in the playing XI looks implausible should he choose Anfield as his next destination.

Regardless of his heroics for the Galacticos and his countless match-winning goals, Bale would never be a perfect fit for the Merseyside club.
Final Verdict
The Reds don’t have much business to deal with in the ongoing transfer window, as the current squad is looking healthy.
Whilst there are reinforcements needed in the midfield, Klopp should never consider a move for an attacker like Bale, who is in his 30s now.
