Brazil legend Rivaldo has called on Gareth Bale to join Newcastle United.

Real Madrid have put the Wales international up for the sale this summer.

And Rivaldo thinks Bale can remain a superstar in Europe with the Magpies.

"I still think Gareth Bale has something left to show in European football at 30-years-old, before moving to the MLS," he told Betfair.

"I believe his career at Real Madrid is coming to an end. The club no longer trusts him to be a decisive player after some internal problems in the last few years.

"At Newcastle, he would be the biggest star of the team and could lead a rejuvenated squad to a good Premier League campaign. He could reassume his superstar status at the club and keep earning a big amount of money."
