Tottenham: Bale plans Madrid return after loan ends
Tottenham have turned plenty of their transfer attention to South America as a result of a Brexit transfer rule change around work permits. Spurs are not believed to be strapped for cash this summer, so will need to get creative in the market ahead of next season.
Tottenham could reportedly take advantage of a Brexit transfer rule change to land a highly-rated Brazilian talent.
Spurs are expected to sell a number of players this summer in order to balance their books as a result of the pandemic.
Many clubs are in the same position after being hit financially.
But sides also need to look to freshen things up, and Jose Mourinho is said to have his eye on Brazilian youngster Gabriel Menino ahead of the summer transfer window.

According to Sky Sports, Tottenham have turned their attention to South America due to a rule change following Brexit.
There are new work permit rules for players from the continent, leading Mourinho’s scouting team to Palmeiras midfielder Menino, who is currently valued at £12m.
The 20-year-old was called up to the senior Brazil squad last year, and started in Palmeiras’ recent Copa Libertadores triumph.

Menino is not believed to be an active target for Tottenham, but he is one they have cast their eye over.
And with the ability to play at right-back and plenty of potential to grow into, he would certainly be one to keep that eye on over the next few months.
Meanwhile, Gareth Bale has revealed that he does not plan on making his move back to Tottenham permanent.
The Welshman has found some form in north London after an underwhelming start to his return to Spurs.
