Tottenham, optimistic that Bale will return to London today
Tottenham bosses are very optimistic that they have found a good enough offer to bring back striker Gareth Bale back to London today from Real Madrid.
Details of the deal have not yet been completed, especially for the salary of Gareth Bale, who now earns around £ 500,000 a week at the Santiago Bernabeu. But The Times reports that Tottenham’s hierarchy believes the deal will be reached today.
Tottenham boss Daniel Levy traveled to Madrid to negotiate with Real Madrid president Florentino Perez in an attempt to secure the services of the 30-year-old, who left White Hart Lane in Madrid in 2013 for £ 85m. The pound has since been a world record.
Coach Jose Mourinho is also looking for further reinforcements for the attacking squad, despite the transfer of Steven Bergwijn and Gedson Fernandes, as Harry Kane will be missing for several weeks due to a muscle injury.
However, the Welshman is still part of Tottenham’s squad and has made a total of 12 La Liga appearances this season. Bale’s frequent absence in Real Madrid’s early formations has made Tottenham interested in making it back to the Premier League.
But the London club will not have much time to reach a deal with the player and Real Madrid, as the January deadline ends at midnight today.
