Real Madrid remain determined to offload Gareth Bale despite his return to form, in a potential boost for Tottenham, to fund their own attempts to sign either Erling Haaland or Kylian Mbappe.
Bale’s resurgence at Spurs has increased Madrid’s hopes they may be able to find a permanent taker for the Welsh star this summer.
He has directly contributed to nine goals in his last six games after netting a Premier League double for the second Sunday running against Crystal Palace.
Bale, 31, has one year left of his current Madrid deal after this season, worth around £26m, and removing as much of the financial burden from their wage bill remains Madrid’s priority.
