Gareth Bale is set to be given another lifeline by Carlo Ancelotti next season and that means Tottenham can forget about bringing him back to London even for a temporary spell, reports The Athletic.
The Welshman spent last season on loan at Spurs from Real Madrid.
He moved back to London because he had fallen down the pecking order under Zinedine Zidane.
The Frenchman even had problems with the club’s hierarchy because of his stance on Bale.
However, he has since left his position as their manager and has been replaced by Ancelotti.
Ancelotti managed Madrid between 2013 and 2015 previously and he enjoyed a good working relationship with Bale, with both of them winning trophies for the club.
His return to the Madrid hot seat was unexpected, but he knows he has to deliver.
Los Blancos has several players who spent last season out of the club on loan and they would be evaluated by the returning manager.
They don’t have so much money to spend on new transfers and the report says Ancelotti will look at the likes of Bale, Luka Jovic and Eden Hazard to see how they fit into his plans.
The report, however, maintained that the Italian manager doesn’t want to lose Bale and believes that he can help the former Southampton teenage star hit top form again.
Can we appoint Zidane, just as a security blanket🙄
Leicester City are quality opposition, besides it was the so called lesser sides we struggled to beat over the years. I remember the 3 points he got for us against Brighton for example. I’ll be sad to see the back of him, he oozes quality.
Well Wales have made it out of the group stages down to or at least in part down to his contribution. He’s certainly not the Bale of old and he is ludicrously overpaid but he is considerably better than pretty much all of those who represented your country over the last two weeks.
No way he’s back ur stupid for even thinking he will be
Fcuking good don’t want bale back poor poor player now
Bale’s time has been and gone. The next Levy “project” can’t afford Bale. Can’t afford much from what I’ve read.
Well said Mike j I totally agree with you. Bale never turned up against quality teams but against the rest he scored a few goals. I know some will point to his goals per minute in the prem last season but for 200+ thousands per week I would have expected at twice what he gave us. Real can keep him and his inflated wages and I wish them both the best of luck.
I’d be surprised if Bale plays regularly for Real Madrid next season, the split between them is real.
Real want as much of his wages off the books and he is out of contract next year so I think he’ll back at Spurs.
Bale had some good moments on loan with Spurs (against lesser opposition). However, I don’t think he gave us good value for money. I’d rather remember him for his glory days, earlier in his career.
Basically, Ancelotti is welcome to keep him next season.
