Report: Real Madrid can’t recall Gareth Bale even if Zinedine Zidane is sacked

Add as preferred source on Google

Tottenham Hotspur will have Gareth Bale for the whole of 2020/21, with football.london claiming Real Madrid have no option to recall the star from his loan.

The winger will be with Jose Mourinho’s side until next summer, where the north Londoners will then take a decision on the 31-year-old.

football.london’s report comes after the star’s former Spurs teammate Darren Bent tipped Jose Mourinho to potentially end his spell early (talkSPORT).

The former striker believes Bale has yet to pull up trees during his second stint with Spurs and needs to spring into action soon.

Were Real to sack manager Zidane, who is under increasing pressure at the Bernabeu after a string of poor results this term, the idea has been floated that his replacement may want to bring Bale back.

After all, Bale’s relationship with the French tactician has been well publicised.

But it seems the Spanish heavyweights would be unable to get their man back if that’s what a new manager wanted.

TBR’s View – Bale must deliver soon

Everyone knows Bale hasn’t been fully fit since his return to Spurs.

The fans are being patient with him, but soon he’ll have to start delivering.

At the moment, things are going well for Spurs as a collective, but when the going gets tough Bale will need to bring his A-game.
