Bale's contract in Madrid runs through to the end of next season and he not anticipating a permanent move to Spurs this summer.
"I think the main reason I came to Spurs this year was to play football first and foremost," the four-time Champions League winner said.
"Going into the Euros I wanted to be match-fit. The original plan was to do a season at Spurs and after the Euros still have a year left at Real Madrid.
"My plan is to go back, that's as far I have planned."
Tottenham boss Mourinho recently admitted that Bale's future was up to his parent club rather than him.
