Jose Mourinho plots Gareth Bale return as new Tottenham manager
Jose Mourinho is planning an incredible move to re-sign Gareth Bale from Real Madrid.
The new Tottenham boss has a lot of work to do after a tough start to the season. Mauricio Pochettino was replaced by the former Real Madrid and Inter Milan manager, and there could be some big moves on the horizon.
AS (h/t Sun) claims that Mourinho is plotting a move to bring Bale back to Tottenham. The Welsh winger joined Real from Spurs in 2013, however, he hasn’t had the best of relationships with current manager Zinedine Zidane (h/t Telegraph).
The 30-year-old seemed set to move to the Chinese Super League in the summer but Real blocked that move (h/t Sun).
Bale’s agent, Jonathan Barnett, has also claimed that a winter move from the Spanish capital would not take place (h/t Sun).
Euro 2020 celebrations could see Bale move
The Welshman helped his nation seal a place in Euro 2020 and his celebrations didn’t go down well.
Bale and his teammates held a Welsh flag which said “Wales. Golf. Madrid. In that order”.
That could open the door for Mourinho to swoop in but Manchester United are also keen on the 30-year-old (h/t Sun).
Bale could still do a job for a top club, but he isn’t a long-term solution given his age.

It is going to be an interesting couple of months till the winter window for Mourinho. The Portuguese will have some time to judge the current crop of players and then make a decision on their futures.
