Former Real Madrid and Tottenham star Gareth Bale has stated that he is 'definitely interested' in venturing into football club ownership.
This confirmation comes after his failed attempt to lead a consortium in a takeover bid for League One team Cardiff City earlier this summer.
Despite the setback, the Welshman remains committed to pursuing this new career path in the future.
Bale's interest in club ownership aligns with a growing trend of former players and celebrities investing in football teams.
His experience at the highest level of the sport, both as a player and a brand, could prove to be a valuable asset in a boardroom setting.
While the Cardiff City bid did not come to fruition, Bale's public statement indicates that he is actively looking for other opportunities to get involved in the management and ownership side of the game.
The move from player to owner is a rare one, and Bale's desire to follow in the footsteps of others, such as Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, shows a different kind of ambition beyond his playing career.
His deep understanding of the sport, coupled with his business acumen, could make him a successful and influential figure in club ownership.
Bale's commitment to the sport is evident in his desire to contribute to its future from a different vantage point.
