Bale has joined Los Angeles FC for the long term, and he wants to play in the Euro 2024 and World Cup in the same year.
He joined LAFC on a free transfer from Real Madrid with an option to stay for the 2024 season.
The idea that Bale only signed because he wants to be fit for the World Cup was nonsense.
He said that he could make it to the Euros if he was here.
I have a long way to go. I came here to be here for a long time. I want to be here as long as I can.
I'm looking forward to the future and I want to do as well as I can. It is a long thing.
I have the best chance to keep going to the next Euros.
Bale spoke at his first news conference as an LAFC player on Monday, having arrived in the US last Friday.
Bale was introduced to the crowd at the end of the LAFC game after watching from the stands.
After joining his new team-mates for a first training session this week, he is looking forward to his debut for the MLS side.
Bale's comments will be a source of great relief and excitement for Wales fans, who are looking forward to their country's first appearance at a World Cup in almost 60 years.
Bale appeared to hint at a desire to play at the World Cup when he stated his long-term commitment to LAFC.
He said he hasn't come for a while.
Being here gives me the best chance to make it to the Euros and maybe one more.
My goal is that. I'm excited to get started and play a big part in this project.
I have been watching the MLS for a while. I tried to watch it on TV, but the time difference made it hard.
The standard here is better than in Europe. The league is getting better, the stadiums are getting better, and the teams are getting better.
MLS is not seen as a retirement league anymore. It is physically demanding.
It feels like this club has been here for a long time. I am excited to be a part of it.
