Gareth Bale has been in contact with Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho , it has been claimed.

The Real Madrid forward looks set to leave the Bernabeu after failing to convince arch-critic Zinedine Zidane upon the manager’s return to the club in March.

According to El Desmarque , Tottenham are preparing to offer £25.7m (€30m) plus Christian Eriksen to bring Bale back to the club.

Eriksen is out of contract at the end of the season so the package is reportedly on the low side for Real Madrid.

They are likely to accept the offer, however, because of the length of time still to run on Bale’s mega-money deal.

Bale, who scored 55 goals in 203 games for Tottenham, was supportive of the club's controversial decision to hire Mourinho as Pochettino’s replacement.

“Having Mourinho there is an amazing statement from the club, I think he's a serial winner,” the 30-year-old said.

“Tottenham want to win trophies and I don't think there's a better partnership than Mourinho and Tottenham together to try and win some trophies.”

Former Tottenham striker Dimitar Berbatov believes the Welshman would be a good signing for his old club.

“Gareth Bale has said he thinks Jose Mourinho is a good fit for Tottenham so it seems possible that the Portuguese could try to sign the Welshman in January,” Berbatov told Betfair .

“That would be a great move for both parties.

“I’m a big admirer of Bale, it’s not working out for him in Madrid and, if he comes back to England, Spurs would probably be the ideal club for him.

“He understands the club and was a great player for them before he left for Spain. I would be very pleased to see him back at Spurs.”
