Gareth Bale was reportedly wanted by Spurs on loan

The 29-year-olds status at the LaLiga side has come under question with rumours of a move away and back to the Premier League.Writing in AS, journalist Guillem Balague claims that Spurs chairman Levy raised the possibility of taking Bale on a season-long loan, with Madrid continuing to pay the vast bulk of his wages.3

The proposal, though, was deemed so unlikely to work that it did not even make it to the offices at the Bernabeu.Madrid are thought to be keen on signing Spurs star Christian Eriksen in the summer as they look to overhaul their squad after crashing out of the Champions League and falling behind Barcelona in the league.3

Any prospect of Bale going the other way would be hampered by his exorbitant 12million a year wages.Balague explained the player is reluctant to take a pay cut and no-one seems willing to pay 70million for a player who will be 30 in the summer.Bale is also understood to have been reluctant about moving back to north London whenever it has been suggested as he sees it as a backwards step.This season he has been made the scapegoat by fans for Real’s dismal campaign, with his agent telling talkSPORT Bale was left hurt by the disgusting treatment he received by supporters. He was booed at the Bernabeu when he was substituted during their 1-0 defeat to bitter rivals Barcelona, yet Jonathan Barnett insists the 29-year-old still loves playing for Real but warned he may be forced to leave if the jeers continued.And even with Zinedine Zidane’s return as manager, whom he fell out with last season, it is thought Bale is keen to remain.“He wants to play the rest of his career with Real Madrid,” Barnett said.“If that doesn’t work out, then we’ll talk again. At the moment he’s very happy. He’ll talk with Mr Zidane and take it from there. We’ll see at the end of the season.”
