Gareth Bale returned to Tottenham on a loan deal earlier this summer but the Welshman has failed to live up to the expectations so far.
The 31-year-old has made eleven appearances for the London side in all competitions and he has scored three goals.
Spurs fans would have expected a lot more from the winger when their club decided to sign him on a loan deal with the option to make the move permanent.
The player has had knee problems and calf problems since his move to Tottenham and Spanish publication Sport are reporting the Tottenham are now unwilling to activate the purchase option for Gareth Bale.
