Gareth Bale- Tottenham to Real Madrid
Bale was fantastic for Spurs last season, scoring 21 Premier League goals and winning three major individual accolades. However, despite his efforts, Spurs still failed to qualify for the Champions League, a competition Bale is desperate to play in. Real Madrid have made it clear that they want to sign Bale, with president Florentino Perez keen to add another “Galatico” to Los Blancos first team.
Bale is thought to be keen on a move to the Santiago Bernabeu and reports suggest that he has made it clear to Spurs hierarchy that he wants to leave White Hart Lane. However, Spurs are determined to keep hold of their star player for at least one more season, with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy feeling that the club are more likely to qualify for the Champions League with Bale at White Hart Lane. Madrid are still set to make a formal bid for the player, thought to be a world record £85 million. It would be very hard for Spurs to turn down a bid of that size, even for a player as important as Bale. Madrid have the financial power to meet any valuation Spurs make and it is expected that Bale will arrive in the Spanish capital sometime this summer.
