Andros Townsend has claimed that Gareth Bale would ‘want to go back’ to Tottenham amid his current troubles at Real Madrid, as he told TalkSport (12/08/20 at 9:45 am).
It has been well-documented that things are not going well for Bale at Madrid and his future looks pretty bleak in Spain.
The Mirror recently claimed that Bale is refusing to leave Madrid as a standoff continues between the Welshman and the La Liga giants.
Townsend spoke about how it’s understandable that Bale may have lost his happiness for football because of what is happening in Madrid, as he thinks returning to Spurs would bring the joy back into his game.
“I think if anything the Bale situation, he’d want to go back to Spurs,” Townsend told TalkSport. “The memories of Spurs.
“His happiness. He was the main man. He was loved. He was at the top of his game. So, if anything I think it would work the other way.
“He would be like ‘I wish I was at Spurs now and had the freedom to do whatever I want. To express myself and not worry about where I am now where I get scrutinised for playing Golf.”
It’s highly unlikely that Bale will turn up on Tottenham’s doorstep this summer or anytime in the future given his big wages and the fee he would command.
In truth, many of the top clubs would struggle to pay his wages, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if he’s still on the sidelines at the Bernabeu next season.
Bale has achieved great things at Madrid, but that is seemingly being forgotten now as his career at the club is ending in pretty disappointing fashion.
But whatever happens in the future, one thing the left-footed speedster will be proud of is that he has been one of the best British players to play abroad.
