Tottenham are ready to send Gareth Bale back to parent club Real Madrid at the end of the season.

Bale is on a straight loan with Spurs, but has battled with injury since his return after seven years away.

Quatro says Spurs now intend to send Bale to Madrid in June, rather than discuss with Real a permanent deal.

Bale has a contract with Real Madrid to 2022.

His latest injury was suffered just before Christmas and there is no official date nominated for his playing return.
