D.C. United have "exchanged proposals" with star winger Gareth Bale, the Washington Post reported Thursday.
The MLS club initially spoke with the 32-year-old Welsh captain's representatives months ago "but it didn't go anywhere," the newspaper's soccer writer posted on Twitter.
In a reply to his own tweet, the writer characterized a scenario that would bring Bale to the nation's capital as "very far-fetched."

Los ruidos subterráneos dicen que Matías Almeyda habría renunciado a la banca del San Jose Earthquakes y que su futuro empezaría con Chi.
El rumor surgió apenas terminó el partido en que los Earthquakes igualaron con Nashiville SC (2-2) y que hundió al equipo californiano en el último lugar de la conferencia oeste de la MLS.

Ruben Gabrielsen's goal in the 90th minute capped a wild late comeback as Austin FC scored three times in the final 10 minutes to beat host D.C. United 3-2 on Saturday.
It was the first-ever match between the two teams and a tale of two halves. The first 45-plus minutes belonged to D.C. United and Ola Kamara while the second half, played with the home team a man down, was owned by Austin FC.
Gabrielsen's game-winning goal came off a long crossing pass to the far post by Diego Fagúndez that bounced out of the hands of D.C. United goalkeeper Bill Hamid.
