Carlo Ancelotti CONFIRMS Gareth Bale will leave Real Madrid this summer when his contract expires - amid reports he could be on his way back to Tottenham

Gareth Bale could make another return to Spurs after his Real Madrid boss confirmed his time at the Spanish giants was coming to a close.

Bale signed a new contract with Madrid in 2016, earning him a reported £600,000-a-week, but a dip in form plus consistent injuries has seen him become a bit-part player at the club.

Madrid have been keen to get the large wage off their books for a while but Bale has been reluctant to leave for any kind of pay cut.

But with his contract coming to an end this summer and no offer of a renewal on the table, it seems Bale's time at the club he joined in 2013 is coming to a close.
