Gareth Bale’s Tottenham struggles concerning Real Madrid

Add as preferred source on Google

Real Madrid are apparently upset at what they are seeing from Gareth Bale during his loan spell with Tottenham, according to reports from AS.

The Spanish outfit are thought to be concerned over the amount of game time Bale is getting under Jose Mourinho, as well as the form he is producing when he does play.

Bale, 31, has started only one Premier League game this term and has predominantly featured for Spurs in the Europa League. He has three goals in all competitions to his name but is nowhere near, it seems, being one of Mourinho’s regulars.

And AS claim that Madrid are worried that Bale’s value will dip significantly due to this, with the Spanish giants concerned that any future deal could see them lose money or, at worst, not find a buyer for Bale at all.

Bale is on loan in north London until the summer and Spurs may look to extend that deal if he improves. However, for now at least, he is very much a squad player and has yet to make the impact he did in his first spell.

The saga between Madrid and Bale is like something from one of the great British soaps. Both are at loggerheads it seems and there has definitely been some sort of power grapple at some point.

The move to Spurs should have been a clean break for Bale but still, we see reports of unhappiness from those in Spain.

Sadly, Bale hasn’t really impressed as many would like. Spurs, if they are to have some success this season, need him at his best and they’ll be hoping 2021 could be a turning point.
