However, the sale has now advanced to the point where he is set to undergo a medical tomorrow and complete a one-year loan back to the North London side.<\/p>\n<h2>Gareth Bale to Complete Return to Tottenham Hotspur<\/h2>\n<h3>How Much Will This Cost?<\/h3>\n<p>Due to Bale&#8217;s astronomical wages at Madrid, even a loan deal for the Welshman isn&#8217;t coming cheap. It&#8217;s thought that his weekly wage in the Spanish capital is around \u00a3600,000.<\/p>\n<p>Reportedly, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FabrizioRomano\/status\/1306299292685078529\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Madrid want Tottenham to pay the full sum<\/a> of Bale&#8217;s wages, but this would completely break the wage structure at the club, hence why negotiations have continued.<\/p>\n<h3>Other Incomings?<\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s also being reported that <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FabrizioRomano\/status\/1306411099475120128\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Spurs have completed a deal for left-back Sergio Reguilon<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Jose Mourinho&#8217;s side have beaten his former club, Manchester United, to the capture of the Spaniard, who is also set to join from Real Madrid for around \u20ac30 million.<\/p>\n<p>Reguilon had held talks with United, but they were far more sceptical about the buy-back clause Madrid wanted to put in the contract than Spurs were.<\/p>\n<p>Another area Spurs are looking to bolster is up front to ease the load on Harry Kane.<\/p>\n<p>Alexander Sorloth <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FabrizioRomano\/status\/1306524455452147713\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">was one of those being considered<\/a>, but he is set to end his loan at Trabzonspor from <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/clubs\/crystal-palace\/\" target=\"_self\">Crystal Palace<\/a> to replace Timo Werner at RB Leipzig.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Andrea Belotti is set to remain in Italy with Torino.
