Tottenham Hotspur are preparing for a Champions League Final showdown with Premier League runners-up Liverpool, but it is in the transfer market where Chairman Daniel Levy has the chance to delight the Spurs fanbase.

The Sun have claimed that the North London outfit have been offered an opportunity to bring club hero Gareth Bale back to where he made a name for himself, as Real Madrid are desperate to have the Welsh winger off their books.

Bale banks an astonishing £600,000-a-week at the Santiago Bernabeu as part of a contract which runs until 2022, and will see the 75-cap international earn more than £100million even if he never plays another minute in Spain.

Madrid, however, are so keen to see that he leaves this summer, they are willing to loan Bale to Tottenham for just £10million, and even pay £350,000 of his weekly wage.

The La Liga giants re-hiring French icon Zinedine Zidane earlier in the year effectively marked the end for Bale in the Spanish capital, where the 29-year-old is considered public enemy number one and fans regularly boo his name.

Los Blancos’ supporter’s disgust with the former world record signing even saw the left-footed powerhouse receive 90% of the votes in a poll asking who they would like to see President Florentino Perez cash-in on come the summer.

If Perez fails to find a suitor willing to pay what he is after, as the 72-year-old eyes signing Chelsea’s Eden Hazard and Manchester United’s Paul Pogba in the summer, Zidane is thought to be ready to drop Bale from not only the matchday squad, but into Madrid’s Under 23s.

As the potential is there for Levy to bring the Spurs hero back to North London for £10million, plus upwards of £9m in wages, The Sun believe Tottenham’s transfer committee are discussing the feasibility of a move, after ruling out a permanent deal.

Deciding to give Madrid a short reprieve, however, will not be beneficial to Mauricio Pochettino’s plans for next season, even though Bale is a four-time Champions League winner, who has decided Finals in the past.

His arrival back in North London at Tottenham’s new home could fracture the dressing room the Argentine has strived to build, as the Welsh forward would demand regular game time in a desperate bid to prove his worthiness to those in the Spanish capital.

It would effectively be a prolonged pre-season for Bale back in the Premier League, rather than a chance to rekindle the glory days of his time in England, after years of injuries led to the point where he could be training with the Under 23s again next term with no hope of playing first-team minutes.

This season alone saw Bale sit on the sidelines five times at various points of the campaign, after suffering twice with an adductor problem, before two ankle injuries and an issue with his calf.
