Chris Coleman says:
“He’s a Cardiff boy and no disrespect to Cardiff but they’re in the Championship and I think he’s levels above that,” he told the i. “But it’ll be up to Gareth, once he makes his mind up on something he won’t worry what anyone else says about it.”
“He’s such a superstar and has been for 10 years, four Champions Leagues, 15 trophies with Real, the most decorated British player overseas. He’s such a strong character because he’s his own man,” he continued.
“He doesn’t do things because he thinks they’re going for cause and effect. He doesn’t do things to keep people happy, he’s his own man and an excellent professional, a family man who loves his football and would do anything for Wales. He was a pleasure to be around.

Can’t disagree with any of that. He is levels above us as shown by his loan stint at Spurs last season. But as Coleman says if he comes to Cardiff he’s doing it for himself which I’m sure no one can criticise at this stage in his career (except maybe some Jacks
)

Sounds like he wants to live close to home or at least in the UK. With his age and injury record he wont command a huge salary and a long contract in the Premier League. Probably be lucky to get 5 million a year for two years. So given that he has earned between 15 and 30 million a year for the last 5 years money may not matter to him.
