While the Welsh winger is enjoying a successful stint in La Liga following his multi-million deal from Spurs last summer, a return to the Premier League in the future could be on his radar. Gareth Bale finished his debut season at Real Madrid with 22 goals and 16 assists in all competitions, including goals in the Champions League and Copa del Rey finals.
The 25 year-old has had a successful start to life in Spain and has become one of the first names on Carlo Ancelotti’s team sheet, scoring once and assisting a Ronaldo tap-in in his side’s recent 5-1 win over Basel in the Champions League.
Gareth Bale thanked the Tottenham supporters, and suggested that a return could happen in the future. “Hopefully one day, you never know, I could be back.”
“The fans have been unbelievable with me. They’ve supported me through the bad times and believed in me and I’ll never forget the great European nights at White Hart Lane. They were amazing.”
The Welshman joined Tottenham from Southampton in 2007, before leaving the Premier League to join the ‘Galacticos’ in September 2013.
“Tottenham will always have a place in my heart. I hope the fans still love me even though I’ve moved on,” Bale said, “I hope they understand that obviously Real Madrid is a massive, massive club and that they respect my decision.
“From the moment Real Madrid put the offer in it was obviously difficult. [Tottenham] was somewhere I felt so comfortable and so happy – it was difficult to leave but when Real Madrid come in it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
“I love all the Tottenham fans and hopefully one day, you never know, I could be back.”
