Spurs talking with Real Madrid over Bale

TRANSFER TALK
There is a suggestion that Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur have met and have discussed Gareth Bale together with Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli.
There is talk that Real Madrid would prefer to sell 28-year-old (29 next July) Gareth Bale to Spurs, if, and it's a big if, and when they decide to sell him. Why would they want to do a deal with Tottenham instead of the greater fee they could get from Manchester United?
That's simple, they want first option on Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli, should they move for them at the end of the season. Eriksen we know has ambition and it took a long time to get him to sign his last contract extension. The rumours coming out of the club last summer were that he would only be here for another year.
Spurs have made enquiries and asked for confirmation of Gareth Bale's situation. That is leading to quiet informal talks to explore possibilities, one of which is that Real Madrid would contribute to his wages.
Welshman Bale wants to stay at Real Madrid, but he has had a lot of injuries and they do want Kylian Mbappe who isn't going to be cheap. It is speculative but the club are looking at it seriously as he is a marketing tool as well as a tremendous footballer who could be just the star to help our young team.
Who better to learn from than a man who has been there are done it, a man with the mental approach that drives him to achieve his goals.

Business over Success. -the Enic way!
Would be nice to have Bale back. Would rather keep Eriksson and Delete, however. Eriksen may be ambitious, but he also said, only five minutes ago, that there is something special going on at the Lane. So there is nothing decided either way. Likewise with Dele. He has always said he doesn't know exactly where he will end up. But he has also caveated that by saying he might stay at Tottenham his whole career.
Bale in time for the new stadium opening. But because we have a first refusal on him and not because RM want our upcoming young stars!

Ps if this happened I would never question Dan Dan the Levy man ever again.
Certainly not injury free, but what a great attitude Bale always had. A real driving force in a team (excuse the pun). I'd love to see him return and help us to win the league. Not too much of a stretch at this stage considering recent seasons.
