Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is reportedly doing his best to seal the transfer return of Real Madrid star Gareth Bale, according to The Boy Hotspur.
The Wales international notably left Spurs for Madrid in a big move in the summer of 2013, and has gone on to be a huge success in his seven years at the Bernabeu.

It’s fair to say, however, that Bale has not had the happiest of times in the last year or so after falling out of favour in Zinedine Zidane’s side, so an exit this summer wouldn’t be too surprising.
It would be a huge statement by Tottenham, though, if they could bring Bale back to north London this summer and give Jose Mourinho a big-name signing that is so badly needed up front.
Bale can operate in a variety of attacking roles and could be a good fit for Mourinho’s style of play.
The Boy Hotspur claim Tottenham are ready to pay a substantial chunk of Bale’s wages, which could be appealing to Real as he’s likely to be a high earner who, for the time being, isn’t contributing a great deal to the team.
The Premier League lilywhites and Los Blancos de la Liga are supposed to have “a special” relationship, so a two year loan with Real paying half his wages with an option to buy based on performances over the 2 years should be pursued.
What wage would he be willing to accept ,and is he willing to repay Spurs Loyalty
Great. Another player who doesn’t want to play.
We’ve seen Levy in action before, not sure he will offer enough to temp him back,
He seems to fail abysmally when going for expensive players, especially when other clubs are interested
Could be smoke and mirrors again.
He will make other spurs unhappy if he pays anywhere half bales wages, unhappy dressing room?
