Glenn Bale: Stuttgart wanted me to suspend my contract with the Wings and join for free. But I respect my club.”

Krylia Sovetov defender Dutchman Glenn Bale said that he refused to move to Stuttgart in the summer because the German club demanded the suspension of the contract with the Samara team.

– In the summer I had offers from European clubs. But these clubs wanted to get me for free without paying the Wings. This is also why I refused: if someone wants to see me in their team, you have to pay. Madly respect “Wings of the Soviets” and leave like this — not in my rules, — quotes the words of Bale “RB Sport”.

– Who invited?

– In particular, “Stuttgart” from the Bundesliga. Again, they wanted to get me for free so that I would suspend the contract. But I will never do that because I respect my club. If you want, pay money.

– If Zenit or another top RPL club wants to buy you in the winter by paying money to Wings, will you agree to leave?

– For me, “Wings” is a super team. There is a great team, coaching staff. Of course, like any footballer, I have healthy ambitions. I can play in Russia and in another club. Yes, Zenit, Spartak and other Russian teams have a good level of football. Are you asking a specific question about Zenith? Well, if Zenit is ready to pay my club, and Krylia are ready to let me go, then I will agree to transfer to a team from St. Petersburg.

Bale is 27 years old and has been playing for Wings of the Soviets since 2021. This season, the footballer has played 10 matches for the team and made 1 assist.
