Jose Mourinho speaks on Gareth Bale future at Tottenham beyond this season

Bale spends the current campaign on loan at Tottenham and the North London club have an option to extend his loan for another season.

Spurs boss insists there hasn't been any discussions about the Welshman's extension yet.

"There was not even a second of discussion about that," Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho said of Gareth Bale's potential stay at Spurs for another season, as quoted by Sky Sports.

"Gareth is a player on loan until the end of the season. We are speaking about Gareth himself, Tottenham, Real Madrid.

"But, I promise you, not one second of discussion."

The Welshman joined his former club on a season-long loan deal in September. Spurs have an option to extend his loan for the next campaign.

Bale, however, hasn't been at his best in North London so far. The winger has started a single Premier League game this term, having been used mostly in the Europa League.

"He arrived injured and was injured I believe for the first month," Mourinho added. "The Europa League matches were helping him to get his condition.

"Europa League group phase is a different level than the Premier League - the [Europa League] knockout is a different story, but the group phase is a different intensity.

"The Premier League he didn't play many minutes, [then] another small injury at Stoke [in the Carabao Cup] where he was having a good first half.

"[It's] not an easy process. Everybody knew that in the past couple of seasons in Madrid, they were not easy for him, so let's go step by step and try to get the best out of him."

The 31-year-old is tied with Real Madrid until the summer of 2022.
