Peterborough’s director of football Barry Fry fears Gareth Bale may be forced to languish in Madrid for a year. Bale is on loan at Spurs from Real Madrid, but Fry feels a lot of things will have to fall into place for the move to be made permanent. “Either Bale himself will have to waiver that, or Real Madrid will have to give him a big pay off to go on a free transfer,” Fry told <a href="https://www.footballfancast.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/exclusive-barry-fry-discusses-tottenhams-chances-of-signing-gareth-bale-e64" target="_blank">Football Fancast</a>. “And I don’t think Tottenham will pay his wages, and I don’t think Madrid will contribute largely to giving him a free transfer. “So there is a big problem there and he might have to stay at Real Madrid for a year without kicking a ball, which will be a shame.”
