Gareth Bale returns to Tottenham Hotspur. The Welshman leaves Real Madrid and joins the club on loan, where he matured to become a world star between 2007 and 2013. Both clubs announced this on Saturday night.
Bale receives a one-year contract with Spurs, Real pays part of Bale’s salary, supposedly 6.5 million euros. For those from North London, Bale will play with the number 9 on his back.
As the Spurs announced, Bale has to wait a bit longer for his debut. The Welshman injured his knee. After the international break in October, Bale should be part of the game.
The main reason for the change was probably Spurs coach José Mourinho. The Portuguese recently confirmed that he wanted to take Bale to Real during his tenure. “It’s not a secret and Gareth knows it,” Mourinho repeated Wednesday.
Bale went from Tottenham to Real Madrid for 100 million euros in 2013. With Los Blancos he won the Champions League four times. In CL’s victories in 2014 and 2018, the Welshman shone with a total of three goals in the finals.
Gareth Bale: inglorious end at Real Madrid
Last season, however, his time at Real Madrid turned into a sham. Just 14 times in Zidane’s starting eleven, Bale caught the eye as a disinterested bench shark or as an amateur golfer. In the end, his relationship with the Real Madrid fans seemed shattered despite their mutual successes.
It will be completely different in London in the future. Some 50 Tottenham fans frantically greeted Bale when he arrived for a medical examination on Friday. Bale has already played 203 competitive games for the Spurs. First winger, then winger: Bale scored 56 goals for Tottenham, set up 58 goals.
