Having started his career at Southampton, Bale’s exceptional performances for the then-English second-tier side earned him a move to Tottenham Hotspur in 2007. Initially a left-back, Bale evolved into a winger during his time at Spurs, establishing himself as one of the best attacking players in world football.

Bale’s rise to superstardom earned him a six-year contract with Real Madrid for a then-world-record transfer fee of €100 million. It was there that he achieved the bulk of his success.

In addition to three La Liga titles and a Copa Del Rey, Bale won five Champions League trophies during his time with the Galacticos, most recently in 2022. While relegated to a bench role during the later stages of his Real Madrid career, Bale is remembered for scoring a stunning overhead kick in Real Madrid’s 3-1 victory over Liverpool in the 2018 Champions League final.

During the 2020-21 season, Bale returned to Spurs on loan before playing one final season with Real Madrid in 2021-22. Bale signed a one-year deal with MLS club LAFC in June 2022, leading the club to an MLC Cup victory that same season—the first title in the club’s history.

At 31 years-old, Bale has suffered through several injuries, thereby adding to the risk that Spurs take by forking out such a hefty sum for the aging star. Bale’s unwavering skill, on the other hand, makes his transfer worth the risk for the Premier League giants.

With a front line already consisting of Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son, an in-form Bale would surely help the North London side challenge for a top-four league position and perhaps even some silverware this season. With numerous reports suggesting the likelihood of Dele Alli departing the club, Bale’s arrival will be even all the more crucial to Spurs’ squad depth.

In addition to Bale, Spurs are expected to lure in his Real Madrid teammate, left-back Sergio Reguilon, for a £27 million transfer fee. Reguilon is expected to undergo a medical at the Premier League side shortly.

Bale has been deemed surplus by Real’s manager Zinedine Zidane for some time now, having only played 16 games in La Liga in 2019/20.  It became clear that the player has no future at Santiago Bernabeu, but the Spanish powerhouse had a hard time moving him due to his massive salary of around $460k per week. He was close to a move to China last summer, but the transfer was stopped at the last moment by club’s president Florentino Perez.

Tottenham is looking to use this situation and lure Bale back to England, while the player is also believed to have an interest in a reunion. However, since the Spurs are cash-strapped, any move would probably depend on Real’s willingness to keep paying a portion of Welshman’s salary.

Gareth Bale spent six years with Tottenham between 2007 and 2013, establishing himself as one of the best forwards in the world. He played 205 games and scored 55 goals during his time in London before Real acquired him in a record-breaking transfer ahead of the 2013/2014 season.

Bale was close to making a transfer last summer but ended up remaining at Santiago Bernabeu. He was in and out of the starting lineup for the better part of the 2019/20, before being dropped out entirely by manager Zinedine Zidane during the final stretch of La Liga season.

Still, according to Barnett, Bale doesn’t plan on leaving the club despite everything.

“Gareth is fine. He has two years left on his contract,” said Barnett. “He likes living in Madrid, and he is going nowhere.”

“It’s a great loss that he’s not in the Real Madrid team at the moment, but he will not leave.”

Reports surfaced in recent weeks that Bale could also go on a loan, but Barnett ruled out such a scenario.

“Gareth is one of the best players in the world. The best players in the world do not go out on loan,” he added.

Gareth Bale made only 16 appearances in La Liga this season while playing four more games in other competitions. When he was on the field, Bale struggled to make an impact, contributing with just three goals and three assists.

Still, there is a significant interest in Bale’s services from all around the world. The clubs from China are willing to give him a record-breaking salary to lure him to Asia, while several European clubs are also monitoring his availability. These options include a return to Tottenham or going to Italy, where Juventus and Inter Milan would like to sign him.

Bale praised MLS as a “rising” league while hinting that his preferred destination would be Los Angeles Galaxy or LAFC if he decides to come to the U.S.

“I think it’s a league that’s on the up and still rising,” Bale told hosts Charlie Stillitano, Ray Hudson, and Neil Barnett. “I think a lot more players want to come over to America now and play. I’d definitely be interested in it. I love going to Los Angeles on holiday and stuff like that.”

According to Bale, Major League Soccer took a big step forward in recent years and is approaching standards of top European soccer leagues.

“When we come over and play them now in the preseason, the games are difficult,” he added. “The standard is getting a lot better, and I think all the clubs are improving, the facilities are improving, stadiums are improving.”

While it would be shocking to see 30-year-old Gareth Bale making a move to MLS at this point in his career, it should be noted that David Beckham wasn’t a lot older than him when he swapped Real Madrid for Galaxy. Also, Bale’s relationship with Real’s coach Zinedine Zidane deteriorated in recent years, and he was on the brink of departing to China last summer.

If Bale doesn’t return to England as it was rumored in recent months, then he could easily become MLS’ next big star and follow the footsteps of Beckham and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

After confirmation from coach Zinedine Zidane and from the club that they were actively looking to move on without the Welsh forward, the team has now evidently decided to keep Bale around against the French coach’s wishes.

After agreeing in principle to a deal with Jiangsu Suning which would’ve sent Bale to the Chinese Super League on a three-year contract, the Spanish club has apparently gotten cold feet and called off the move.

It’s yet another stunning turn in a series of events that have created plenty of drama and tension for the La Liga giants.

After an injury to Marco Asensio and the departure of Dani Ceballos on loan to Arsenal, it’s started to look more and more like Real Madrid couldn’t afford to lose more offensive players. This could be one of the driving factors in the club’s apparent reversal. There’s no doubt, however, that this creates a tense environment in which the coach of the team for which Bale plays doesn’t want him around.

Keep an eye on this story as it develops throughout the rest of the summer because it surely hasn’t reached its conclusion.

News broke on Tuesday (the attacker’s 30th birthday) that the Welshman has a suitor and that he could find his way out of La Liga.

It appears that Bale’s former club, Tottenham Hotspur of the Premier League, could be interested in making a move for him. The speculation was stoked even more when the club posted a compilation of his best five goals with the North London club in celebration of his birthday.

Since joining the Madrid club in 2013, Bale has put up monstrous numbers including 102 goals and 65 assists in 231 games. Despite injury problems and a tenuous relationship with the demanding Real Madrid fanbase, it’s undeniable that he’s been a key part of a team that has won three Champions League titles during his tenure there.

If Bale wants to return to Tottenham, he will reportedly have to make a sacrifice. The London club is unwilling to pay Bale his annual 15€ million salary and expects him to reduce his wage up to 50% if he wants to go back to play for Spurs.

Now, the ball is in Bale’s court. Either he’ll have to look for another suitor or decide to rejoin a club where he was beloved.
