Tottenham are about to sign a sensational double deal with Real Madrid to re-sign Gareth Bale on loan, as well as Welsh teammate Sergio Reguilón on a permanent basis.
Bale’s manager, Jonathan Barnett, has revealed that the 31-year-old striker wants to return to the Premier League, where he enjoyed a successful six-year term between 2007 and 2013.
The 31-year-old Bale left White Hart Lane for the Bernabéu for a world-record fee of £ 87.5 million in 2013, and has won a number of major honors, including four Champions League titles.
However, he has fallen out of favor with Zinedine Zidane and is now looking to return to the Premier League.
Manchester United have been strongly linked to a move for the striker, and talkSPORT understands that Spurs’ sudden interest has taken them by surprise.
Barnett, the forward’s long-term agent, confirmed Tuesday that talks were underway with Tottenham about a possible move.
Despite United’s interest, Bale favors a return to North London.
“Gareth still loves Spurs,” Barnett told BBC Sport Wales. “We are talking [Spurs, Real and Bale’s camp]. It’s where you want to be. “
In July, Barnett was adamant that his client was “going nowhere,” despite his increasingly peripheral status in Madrid.
But now Tottenham is closing in on the loan of Bale, who makes £ 600,000 a week in the Spanish capital.
Real will almost certainly pay at least half of Bale’s salary, if not more, as José Mourinho desperately seeks to add more quality to his squad.
The transfer could also involve Dele Alli moving in the opposite direction, according to the Telegraph.
The latest developments will bring joy to Spurs fans everywhere, with Mourinho also on the cusp of finalizing a £ 27.5 million trade for the coveted Reguilon.
Manchester United have had discussions about the 23-year-old Spanish international, who was voted the best left-back in LaLiga last season.
But Tottenham are now in pole position to secure Reguilon’s signing with talks at an advanced stage.
