Gareth Bale has qualified his latest statements in which he stated that his plan is to return to Real Madrid. He has done it through the mouth of his representative, Jonathan Barnett, in a brief statement made to ESPN and echoed by Daily Mal. “Bale's words were totally taken out of context,” says the super agent. “It is still too early to know what the future of Bale will be in the medium and long term.”
Bale, who is currently on loan for a season at Tottenham (Madrid pays 15 of the gross 30 million it collects per year), has a contract with the white entity until June 2022. “The original plan was to just do one season at Spurs, and then after the Euro, I still had a year left at Real Madrid. My plan is to go back and that's what I have in mind, to be honest “, The Welshman said verbatim to the media before playing against Belgium in a qualifying match for the Qatar World Cup 2022. He added: “The main reason I came to Spurs this year was that, obviously, I wanted to play football in the first place, but being on the verge of the European Championship, I wanted to go to that tournament in perfect shape.”
Now it is Jonathan Barnett, his representative, who reverses what has been said, aware that if Zidane is on the bench next season Bale would have a very difficult time playing for Real Madrid and his plans to play that World Cup in Qatar would be seriously affected. . On the other hand, the MLS continues to look for formulas to try to pay Bale's high salary and end his career there. The future of the Welshman remains unknown.
For Real Madrid, the importance of removing the gross 30 million euros that Bale charges from his salary bill is evident. To them we must add the other 30 that Hazard charges, in total, 60 million euros wasted. The total wage bill of the entity stands at 448 million euros and ahead there are still the big operations of players like Haaland or Mbappé.
