This article by CNN talks regarding to one of the most famous players in UEFA Champions League in the last season, Gareth Bale. The unknown author brings the news that Bale's contract with the team Real Madrid has been officialized and he was transfered from Tottenham. He mentions the doubts on the price of the tranfer because none of the teams has revealed, but it might have been a world record. The most expensive trade in soccer was by Real Madrid, transfering Cristiano Ronaldo in 2009 from Manchester United with a $124 million fee, and speculations are that Bale's fee was around $130 million. The author has several quotes about Bale opinion on leaving his team that gave him success, and he mentions he was very happy at Tottenham however its a new phase in his career and feels excited about moving to a bigger team. He concludes the article by saying the new manager for Real Madrid, Ancelotti is excited to test the new attacking combination of Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo.
This article is interesting because it is about news that everyone was expecting to hear about it. However it is poorely written, it offers a good amount of stats comparing the most expensive fees in euroleague but still is really vague on information. It provides both sides on opinion on what might have costed to tranfer Bale but still leaves the doubt on whether it was one or the other. The article gives many random quotes and no transitional phrases between them. it is very general and kind of goes every where talking about several other players. The title also is never explained throughout the article's content.
