According to Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo, via TEAMtalk, Tottenham could secure the permanent signing of Gareth Bale for as little as £13.4 million next summer – with parent club Real Madrid potentially put in a difficult spot as his contract looks set to expire in 2022.
Bale, who returned to Spurs on loan in one of the biggest headline-grabbing moves of the last transfer window, becoming part of the ‘super seven’ brought in by chairman Daniel Levy, is currently only at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on a temporary basis.
Should Spurs re-sign Gareth Bale for £13.4 million?
100%, get it done
No, let's see how this season goes
Bale could sign for a bargain fee
The Welshman has been working his way back to full match fitness in preparation for a long and gruelling fixture calendar – making a series of brief cameos before starting some recent encounters.
Bale bagged the winning goal during a 2-1 victory over Brighton 10 days ago, his first goal in a Lilywhites shirt since returning to north London, and it’s safe to say that we’re only just seeing the emergence of a star player who was omitted for months after a fall out with Zinedine Zidane.
As per Mundo Deportivo, with Real keen to get him off their wage bill permanently, they would be willing to sell for as little as £13.4 million – especially with the 31-year-old’s contract set to run out the following year.
Transfer Tavern take
‘He is so special‘ claimed David Ginola, speaking back during Bale’s peak Spurs days, while pundit Robbie Savage described him as the most ‘underrated‘ player of the last 20 years.
Back in 2019, Danny Mills also told Football Insider that Bale would be a ‘top signing for Spurs‘ – with Levy now gifted the chance to secure him on a permanent deal for very little investment.
After this latest update, it’s safe to say Bale’s likelihood of returning when his current loan agreement ends looks stronger than ever.
