Gareth Bale planning to return to Real Madrid next season after Tottenham Hotspur loan

Wales international Gareth Bale has revealed that he plans to return to Real Madrid after the end of his season-long loan at Tottenham Hotspur.

The winger returned to Spurs last summer seven years after he left for the Spanish capital, and has since scored 10 goals and weighed in with three assists in 25 games across all competitions.

It remains to be seen whether Tottenham would love to keep Bale for another season, but it appears that the player’s wish is to return to Madrid for the last year on his contract.

“I think the main reason I came to Spurs this year was to play football first and foremost,” the 31-year-old said.
