1. Gareth Bale (Tottenham)
Tottenham have stood firm on Gareth Bale all summer, and this may or may not see them pocket a great deal of money for their star player. Real Madrid have put all their efforts into signing the Welshman, and are not likely to shy away from spending world-record fees on their main target. Supposedly their most recent bid was of £86million, and it is thought that they could still raise their offer to as much as £100million. Bale is seemingly keen on leaving White Hart Lane, and has fueled speculation further by his recent lack of involvement in Spurs’ pre-season matches and their first game of the Premier League season.
Although Real seems his most likely destination, Manchester United have also shown a strong interest in the talented winger, and that could make things interesting as we head towards the end of the transfer window. Spurs won’t want to sell Bale to a rival, and this could work in Real’s advantage.
