The consortium led by Welsh football icon Gareth Bale has submitted an offer of £40 million to buy Cardiff City, The Times has reported.

The bid is set to be ‘instantly rejected’ by the Welsh club, who were recently relegated to League One at the end of the 2024/25 season.

Cardiff are currently owned by Malaysian businessman Vincent Tan, who took over the team in 2010. Tan has invested more than £200 million into Cardiff since his arrival.
