GARETH BALE has been offered a Tottenham return — in a £10million LOAN. Real Madrid are desperate to offload the winger as manager Zinedine Zidane wants him out of his squad. The Spanish giants are willing to take a huge hit on Bale’s wages too, with the season-long deal covering just half his pay. Spurs’ transfer committee are discussing the possibility of a loan but have ruled out a permanent deal for their former superstar. He gets north of £600,000 a week at Real but would have to accept less than half elsewhere. Real will take an offer where a club pays around £250,000 a week for Bale’s wages PLUS a £10m fee for a season. Bale, 29, is public enemy No 1 in Madrid, with Bernabeu fans booing him when he has played this season. REAL OFFER And almost 90 per cent of them voted for him to be sold this summer. Spurs fans would have a different reaction to Bale, he left a hero for Real in a then-world-record £86m sale in 2013. French giants Lyon are also keen in a Bale loan but, again, it is a question of financing a deal. Boss Zidane is willing to dump Bale — who has won four Champions Leagues with Real — into the Under-23s rather than let him train with the first team, having left him out of the senior squad for Los Blancos’ last two matches. Bale’s agent Jonathan Barnett still claims his player wants to stay and “see out” his contract. Bale would earn in excess of £100m at Real in the time he has left — even if he doesn’t play. He has three years still to run but Zidane admitted he sent a message to Bale after leaving him out of Real’s squad for the 3-1 defeat to Real Sociedad at the weekend. Zidane said: “He’s fine physically. It’s very clear what I’ve done this weekend, we’ll see what I do next week and what happens next year.” All parties held an amicable meeting last week at their Valdebebas training HQ when Bale was told he is not in Real’s plans next season. Madrid are set to announce a deal — worth £400,000 a week — for Eden Hazard after the Chelsea star has played in the Europa League final v Arsenal on May 29. UNITED AGAIN They will pay around £100m for the playmaker and are still keen to do a deal for Manchester United’s Paul Pogba. Getting all or part of Bale’s wages off the books would help these deals with Pogba holding out for £500,000 a week. United would demand in excess of £100m and even Real need to be realistic with spending. A £55m deal for Spurs’ star Christian Eriksen is still not out of the question and could even accelerate Bale talks.
