The future of Gareth Bale is more in the air than ever. Your situation in the Tottenham has been muddied in recent days after The Times reported that the directive seriously doubt staying with him once the loan is over one year who signed with him Real Madrid. The white team hoped that it could recover an optimal level and get, no matter how little, profitability in a hypothetical sale, in addition to saving its chip. However, the performance is not as expected by the leaders of the Spurs.
Meanwhile, Bale has found in his coach, Jose Mourinho, a very important support. The Portuguese constantly defends him at a press conference, aware that he has not had an easy first few months of the season. “Everyone knows how were his last seasons in Madrid. We are going to go step by step, trying to get the best out of him, “he told reporters.
“We take into account that He arrived injured and then was injured again. Now, the matches of Europa League they are helping you get in shape. The group stage of the Europa League has a different level than the Premier League, that's why he hasn't played many minutes in the league, “Mourinho acknowledged. It should be noted that Bale has only played 160 minutes spread over four games in the Premier, by 693 in six of the Europa League. In total he has scored three goals.
Regarding the possibility of staying at the club once his assignment ends, Mou was clear with the situation. “Gareth is a player on loan until the end of the season. There has not been a minute of discussion. Of course we speak, Gareth himself, Real Madrid, Tottenham … But I promise you that we have not discussed it for a minute, “he said.
This newspaper already reported that Neither the player's environment nor Real Madrid himself rule out his return next summer. It would be an economic blow for the white club, which would be forced to pay him the almost 40 million gross token euros that correspond to him in the 2020-21 season.
