With Gareth Bale preparing his exit from Real Madrid this summer, the Mirror reports that the Spanish giants could be prepared to dangle him in front of Spurs in a bid to persuade them to let Christian Eriksen move in the opposite direction.

Bale has been in underwhelming form at the Bernabeu this season following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus last summer. Despite scoring 13 goals for Los Blancos, Bale is still expected to leave the Spanish capital at the end of the season, and a return to Spurs might be an attractive option for both the player and his former club.

Madrid have stepped up their interest in Eriksen, who they want to tempt to La Liga. The Danish maestro is out of contract at the end of next season and has so far shown little inclination to put pen to paper on a new deal.

Madrid's latest master plan involves the Spaniards offering Bale plus around £50 million in a bid to offload the Welshman and lure Eriksen from one capital to another.
