La Liga giants Real Madrid and English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspurs are said to be close to a potential transfer of Gareth Bale at around £105 million. Real Madrid under manager Carlo Ancelotti, are trying to break through with Bale, though the deal still remains elusive. If this possible transfer is agreed upon by the Spurs, then it could become the world transfer record for the highest ever signing fee ever, beating the £80 million record of Cristiano Ronaldo's move to Real Madrid from Manchester United.
Bale, pulled out from Tottenham's 5-2 defeat to Monaco on Saturday. However, he arrived twice consecutively for the Tottenham training sessions. Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas insisted that Tottenham would be interested in the offer, only on a player plus cash combination. Real Madrid seem to consider left-back Fabio Coentrao who is valued at £10 million, as the prime candidate for this trade, though Villas-Boas had eyes on striker Alvaro Morata and even former Spur Luka Modric.
Spaniard Roberto Soldado, who was newly signed by the Spurs at £26 million, urged Bale to stay at White Hart Lane. Meanwhile, Read Madrid claimed that Bale's transfer was already agreed upon. Bale, a Welshman, was FWA and PFA Player of the Year in 2012-13 and has scored over 40 goals in his Tottenham career. Since then, the 24-year old has been seen as hot property on transfer lists.
