Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas has said that Gareth Bale will not be leaving the club this summer despite speculation linking him with a move to Real Madrid, Goal.com reports.

The Spanish giants have made no secret of their intention to sign Bale this summer, with Madrid president Florentino Perez stating that the club will bid for the Welshman when they have a new manager in place.

The Spanish giants are thought to be preparing an £85 million bid for Bale which if accepted would make Bale the most expensive player in football history.

However, AVB has said that the Spurs chairman Daniel Levy has given his word that Bale will not be leaving this summer.

“We have the pledge of the chairman that Bale is not going to leave the club,” said Villas-Boas.

Bale had a fantastic campaign for Spurs last season, scoring 26 goals in all competitions but the club still missed out on a place in next seasons Champions league, leading to speculation that Bale may leave because he is known to want play in that competition.

Bale is also the subject of interest from Manchester United and Paris St Germain but Real Madrid remain front-runners for the Welshman’s signature.
