Real Madrid are facing a Gareth Bale administrative issue this summer, with Tottenham Hotspur reportedly not looking to sign the Welshman on a permanent basis.

Real Madrid are facing a Gareth Bale administrative issue this summer, with the Wales international expected to return to the Spanish capital at the end of the 2020-21 campaign.

Bale was allowed to return to Tottenham Hotspur on loan last year, but the attacker has struggled to make his mark for the club, managing just one goal in six Premier League appearances.

According to Marca, Spurs have no intention of keeping the Welshman at the club on a permanent basis, meaning that he will return to Zinedine Zidane's side this summer.

The former Southampton youngster will head back to Madrid as a non-EU player, though, as the UK completed the process of leaving the European Union during the attacker's time away from the Spanish club.

Los Blancos can only register three non-European players, meaning that the attacker would be competing with Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo Goes, Eder Militao, Reinier Jesus and Takefusa Kubo for the positions.

Bale's lucrative contract at the Bernabeu is due to expire in June 2022.
