Its the rarest of transfers– the loan swap. The short article is behind a paywall, however thats why were here. Buckle up, lets dig in.
However the news isnt stopping there. Oh no. According to Matt Law in the Telegraph, the deal that might bring Gareth home on a one year loan on subsidized salaries could potentially have a pretty spectacular move in the other direction– a return 1 year loan of Dele to the Bernabeu.
And wait– it could get wilder.
We have actually barely taken adequate breath to completely process the bombshell news that Tottenham Hotspur is settlements with Genuine Madrid for not only the return of Gareth Bale to his former club, however also the acquisition of left back Sergio Reguilon.
Real Madrid is stated to admire Dele and has actually asked about him a number of times in the past. Theres some history there, and there have been whisperings that Dele might be a square peg in the round holes of Jose Mourinhos techniques. Add to that the discoveries from the Amazon “All or Nothing” documentary where Mourinho calls Dele “lazy” and a “bad trainer” and the after-effects of Sundays loss to Everton, where Mou subbed off Dele at halftime and afterwards called the whole group lazy. Because context, you start to wonder if there might be something to this after all.
Its very crucial here to state the following– these are listed as POSSIBILITIES, not certainties. Settlements in between Madrid and Tottenham are ongoing, and in the article Law is quite mindful to state that these are topics of conversation, not finalities. Im unsure Ive ever in fact seen a loan-swap in action, much less one this high profile including a Premier League club. We do not understand if Levy rejected these out of hand, or what. Law, nevertheless, is recommending that they are 2 concepts that have actually been discussed.
Completion outcome is Spurs get Bale for a season at ₤ 150k/wk. while Madrid end up with a year of Dele at full wages. What occurs after that is anybodys guess– it would depend on how both gamers are feeling (and carrying out) at their particular brand-new clubs.
This is a moving target. Absolutely nothing is set in stone at this point. We dont know whether a Bale offer can be reached, but Law says there is determination on both sides to come to some sort of an arrangement. It would definitely be something if the return of one considerable gamer from Spurs past comes at the expense of among its best gamers of the previous 5 years.
Certainly, something like this puts a significant damper on my enthusiasm for a Gareth Bale return. As much as my little heart goes pitter-pat at the concept of Bales sensational go back to North London, it actually stops a beat at the concept of cutting bait on a player like Dele, specifically when the return is a 31-year old injury-prone gamer. Its a deeply weird idea, and I truly do not like it.
Another possibility is for both gamers to make long-term moves, however that would likely require Real needing to pay a charge for Alli as he is 7 years younger than 31-year-old Bale and still has four years remaining on his Spurs contract.

According to Law, one POTENTIAL choice to would be to send out Bale on loan to Spurs on a one year handle Madrid subsidizing 50% of his ₤ 600k earnings. That leaves Spurs on the hook for ₤ 300k/week. Dele would then return to Madrid on a similar one year loan, with Madrid paying all of his ₤ 150k/week wage.
