Bale counts for Madrid

Real Madrid still has the possibility of making the figure of Gareth Bale profitable. The attacker has gotten off to a good start at Mourinho's Tottenham and that makes the Bernabéu's offices begin to see the good of a loan that until now seemed like a bad business for the entity. These days, having paid half of the Welshman's salary (15 million gross out of a total of 30) for Mourinho to enjoy is considered a medium-term investment. If he ends up succeeding, they reason, “next summer there would still be an opportunity to collect a transfer even if it is less (in the best of cases), or, at least, to save the entire chip.”

Real Madrid is in the process of restructuring the entity's salary bill. Everything, to make room for the future stars that are to come: Mbappé, Camavinga and Haaland (It is the most ambitious roadmap of Real Madrid). James' free walk has provided some relief, but not enough. In the latest official accounts approved, that wage bill was 283 million euros for the first team. With the Colombian it has been lowered by 18 million (he charged nine net). But with Bale the bite would be much higher (30 million). Hence, there is hope that he will play well and revalue as much as possible (as he is 31 years old).

In the white entity, none of the hypotheses with the Welshman are not ruled out today. The most favorable for Madrid is that it exploded this season and there were offers for him in summer (Transfermarkt gives him a market value of 25 million). There is another, the one that is considered more feasible, that everything goes well for Bale at Tottenham and that Daniel Levy accepts another year on loan. In that case, it would be necessary to discuss whether Londoners would pay the entire token. And a third option could even be that he would return to the ranks of Madrid, an issue that, according to AS from the footballer's environment, should not be completely ruled out (even more so in a scenario in which Zidane was not on the bench) .

In one way or another, Bale is still a Madrid player and will be until June 30, 2022. In the Premier he is being treated as a real star, private sponsors continue to bet on the footballer and Madrid considers that, in the current crisis scenario, the assets of the squad cannot be wasted. So far, Bale has been able to play six games under Mourinho, three in the Premier and three in the Europa League, in which he has scored a goal and given an assist … But Bale's name is still linked to Madrid's.
