WITH THREE YEARS remaining on Gareth Bale’s contract, the task of luring him away from Tottenham was always going to be an arduous one.
However, Real Madrid seem determined to get their man, with a report in the Sunday Times today indicating the Spanish club are willing to spend as much as £85million to get their man.
Should the move take place, it would represent a world record transfer fee – comfortably beating Ronaldo’s £80m move from Manchester United to Real Madrid into second place.
Nevertheless, it remains to be seen if Tottenham will even accept the rumoured bid, with the Telegraph today reporting that Spurs insist Bale is not for sale at any price.
