Report: Gareth Bale to snub Tottenham Hotspur loan return

Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale is reportedly in no rush to return to the Premier League and will reject loan interest from former club Tottenham Hotspur.

The Welsh forward is rumoured to have been offered to Spurs for the 2019-20 campaign after falling massively out of favour under Zinedine Zidane.

Bale appears to have no future at the Bernabeu, having been left out of Madrid's last two matchday squads, but his agent has indicated that the 29-year-old is happy to see out the remaining three years of his contract in the Spanish capital.

Amid the links with a return to Tottenham, The Mirror reports that Bale is to sit tight and continue picking up his £600,000-a-week pay packet at Madrid.

However, it is claimed that stance may alter if another heavyweight club - such as Paris Saint-Germain or Bayern Munich - make an offer, which is unlikely to happen this summer.
