[Saba Sports News] According to recent reports from English media, former Real Madrid star Gareth Bale has taken over from departing Rio Ferdinand to work as a commentator for TNT during the 2025–2026 Premier League and UEFA Champions League seasons. Ferdinand had worked as a commentator for TNT for 12 years and chose not to renew his contract after last season. Meanwhile, Bale, who previously served as a commentator for TNT during the May Europa League final between Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United, impressed fans with his performance, which earned him a formal contract. The editor believes that this marks a key turning point in his career, opening up a new path for him to stay involved in football. His excellent performance as a commentator in the Tottenham Hotspur vs. Manchester United Europa League final proved his potential for transformation. By continuing to appear on TNT’s broadcasts, he will maintain a prominent presence in the public eye and expand his influence in the football world.
