Madrid's "Real" will not spare 100 million euros to acquire Tottenham's leader Gareth Bale, "The Times" announces.
Although the leaders of the London club insist they do not intend to part ways with their brightest star, it will be difficult for them to prevent Bale from becoming the most expensive footballer of all time.
Bale's contract with Tottenham still has three more years to run, but the London team did not qualify for next season's UEFA Champions League, so the Welsh national team member will have to leave if he wants to compete in the prestigious tournament.
It is said that "Man Utd" is also interested in Bale, who scored 21 goals in 33 matches in the Premier League, but the English champions are not prepared to offer the sums that Real president Florentino Perez is willing to pay.
