GARETH BALE PLANS to end his Tottenham stay at the end of the season and return to Real Madrid.
Wales captain Bale joined Spurs on loan in September and has had a mixed season with form and fitness issues dominating his second spell in north London.
The 31-year-old’s Madrid contract runs until the end of the 2021-22 season.
“There’s no distraction for me,” Bale told a press conference ahead of Wales’ opening 2022 World Cup qualifier in Belgium.
“I think the main reason I came to Spurs this year was to play football first and foremost.
“Going into the Euros I wanted to be match-fit. The original plan was to do a season at Spurs and after the Euros still have a year left at Real Madrid.
“My plan is to go back, that’s as far I have planned.”

@Connfealin: he is on the same.money at spurs as he was in Madrid
@Colm Connolly: difference is without CL football again for Spurs they won’t be able to afford his wages especially when you consider he’s been back up for most of the season. Bale knows they can’t afford him
