Former Tottenham attacker is linked with a return to the club.
Tottenham Hotspur fans have given a mixed response to reports Gareth Bale has his heart set on a return to the club.
United’s Champions League exit this week reportedly convinced him they are no further advanced than Spurs, who went out at the same stage.
Bale left Tottenham in 2013 for a world record £86 million, breaking the hearts of Spurs fans in the process.
His success since at Real has justified his exit, as he has one three Champions League medals, one La Liga trophy and one Copa Del Rey.
Tottenham move into their brand new stadium this summer and Bale would be a marquee signing to help shift their expensive season tickets.
And that’s where part of the scepticism over the rumours comes in. Spurs release ticket prices for their new stadium, and the same week Bale is linked with a return. Coincidence?
There are also concerns over whether Tottenham and Bale could find any middle ground with regard to wages, and if Spurs would pay Real’s asking price.
Fans have also asked where he would fit into the side, although given Bale’s talent, Mauricio Pochettino would surely find a way to accommodate him.
Here is a look at how Tottenham fans reacted on Twitter to the latest rumours…
