# Tottenham Hotspur: Man United eye Gareth Bale loan move amid Spurs transfer interest

**According to an update courtesy of [Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11667/12071867/gareth-bale-manchester-united-could-consider-loan-for-real-madrid-star-if-jadon-sancho-move-fails), Man United are considering a loan move for Real Madrid want-away and [Spurs target](https://www.espn.com/soccer/soccer-transfers/story/4182160/tottenham-ahead-of-man-utd-in-pursuit-of-real-madrids-bale-sources) Gareth Bale – with the Premier League giants now eyeing a battle with Tottenham over his signature.**

[Mundo Deportivo](https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/real-madrid/20200913/483432877802/bale-real-madrid-manchester-united.html) recently claimed that Bale could leave the Bernabeu for as little as [£18.4 million](https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futbol/real-madrid/20200913/483432877802/bale-real-madrid-manchester-united.html), but United are reportedly considering the option to take him on a season-long loan deal if they fail to sign Borussia Dortmund sensation Jadon Sancho.

As Tottenham also target a move for the ‘[unbelievable](https://www.sportsmole.co.uk/football/spurs/news/riise-bale-is-unbelievable_7735.html)‘ attacking star, the two clubs could now enter a battle to take him off Madrid’s hands after wide reports of his unrest in the Spanish capital.

Sparking the infamous ‘[Wales, Golf, Madrid](https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2019/nov/20/gareth-bale-and-that-wales-golf-madrid-flag-real-are-not-amused)‘ moment, Bale’s unhappiness at Madrid is widely recognised, and the Welsh superstar may well be open to a Premier League return.

Last year, Bale was [allegedly close](https://www.scmp.com/sport/football/article/3020332/gareth-bale-closing-us12-million-week-chinese-super-league-transfer) to securing a move to the Chinese Super League, but a transfer failed to materialise with Madrid now looking for another way to ship the 31-year-old off their wage bill.

Earning a reported [£600,000-per-week](https://as.com/futbol/2020/09/09/primera/1599654326_653074.html?m1=cG9ydGFkYV9wb3J0YWRh&m2=QUNUVUFMSURBRA%3D%3D&m3=MQ%3D%3D&m4=dmlkZW8%3D&m5=MjE%3D), Diario AS even suggested that the Galacticos would be willing to subsidise [50% of Bale’s enormous salary](https://as.com/futbol/2020/09/09/primera/1599654326_653074.html?m1=cG9ydGFkYV9wb3J0YWRh&m2=QUNUVUFMSURBRA%3D%3D&m3=MQ%3D%3D&m4=dmlkZW8%3D&m5=MjE%3D) in an effort to attract suitors, with United now weighing up a loan move as a potential result.

Theoretically, Spurs could approach Madrid with a similar offer, but it remains to be seen whether they will in fact lodge a bid and bring the former club cult hero back to north London.
