Ex-Reds defender Jamie Carragher says Bale was on Liverpool’s radar before he joined Tottenham

Bale who was 18 at the time had just broken into the first team at Southampton and his performances caught the attention of Liverpool who chose not to make a bid for him, according to Carragher.

Bale, 26 who joined Real Madrid in 2013 for a fee of ÂŁ85 million has become a key player at the Spanish club and he recently won the Welsh Player of the Year award for the 5th time.

Carragher said “He has come so far since making his way at Southampton.”

“When he broke into their team, Rafa Benitez looked at signing him for Liverpool.”

“Bale was playing as a left back then and Rafa didn’t think he was any better than John Arne Riise, so he never pursued it.”
