Jonathan Barnett, Gareth Bale’s agent, has now revealed that Manchester United did not make a quick enough move and thus were out of the running. He added that as soon as Spurs chairman Daniel Levy showed interest, things started to work, and the move was completed in no time.
Talking to BBC Sport, Barnett said:
Manchester United are still looking to sign a winger this summer. Jadon Sancho remains their top target but Borussia Dortmund are adamant that the Sancho will not leave the club this season.
The Red Devils were linked with Gareth Bale as an alternative to Sancho. However, it did not take long for those rumours to end as the Welshman joined his former side, Tottenham Hotspur.
Will Gareth Bale remain at Tottenham beyond this season?
Gareth Bale’s time at Real Madrid was filled with drama as he was either injured, getting booed by the fans, or scoring crazy goals on the pitch. There was no in-between for him at the club. He also had a love-hate relationship with the manager.
At Tottenham, however, he is someone who was loved by the fans, and they have been rallying for him come back for a long time. Barnett spoke about a possible return next summer and said:
Zinedine Zidane has no plans for Gareth Bale at Real Madrid a move back to Tottenham could be on the cards once again next summer.
