Z.Zinedine: a record amount could be paid for G.Bale © EuroFootball.com

"Real" sports director Zinedine Zidane would not be surprised if the world record set four years ago was broken this summer, when the Spanish capital's team paid a whopping 80 million pounds sterling for "Manchester United" leader Cristiano Ronaldo.

Now the "Primera" vice-champions are actively interested in the possibility of buying "Tottenham" defender Gareth Bale and thus overshadowing "Barcelona" newcomer Neymar.

"It's not surprising that after such a great season he is linked to the strongest clubs in Europe. However, every team must be prepared for huge expenses, maybe even a world record. Currently, 4-5 clubs have such opportunities," said the Frenchman.

According to the press, "Real" could make an offer of 85 million pounds.
