Gareth Bale latest as Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur eye summer swoop but Real Madrid demand extraordinary transfer fee


Friday 12th April 2019


Real Madrid have placed an extraordinary £150m price tag on the head of Gareth Bale , according to reports in Spain.

Spanish outlet AS say Real boss Zinedine Zidane plans to sell the Wales superstar as part of a summer overhaul at the Bernabeu.

The newspaper report that Real sporting director Jose Sanchez met Bale's agent Jonathan Barnett in Madrid in Monday to explain the situation.

Barnett insists Bale wants to stay in Spain, but Real's stance has placed a number of clubs on high alert.

Manchester United have coveted Bale for years, while Tottenham see him as the player who can take them to the next level and win the Premier League for them.

Chelsea, Bayern Munich and Inter Milan have also been linked with Bale, with Real saying he can go to a club of his choosing.

However, there is a catch. According to AS , Real Madrid want £150m for Bale, who already earns in excess of £350,000 a week.


Those mind-blowing figures for a player who turns 30 in three months' time, and who has a history of injury problems, will put off potential suitors.

Only two players in the history of football have moved for bigger sums - Neymar, from Barcelona to PSG, and Kylian Mbappe, who switched from Monaco to PSG.

Each were significantly younger than Bale at the time of their transfers.

Bale moved from Spurs to Real for a then world record fee of £86m six years ago and has scored 102 goals in 227 games.

However, despite that impressive record and goals to win Champions League finals, he remains under fire from a large section of the Madrid fan base who continue to jeer him.

AS call Bale 'the Cardiff Expresso' and say Man Utd and Bayern Munich are the two clubs to have expressed interest thus far.

World's biggest transfers

Neymar (Barcelona to PSG) £198m

Kylian Mbappe (Monaco to PSG) £158m

Philippe Coutinho (Liverpool to Barcelona) £106m

Cristiano Ronaldo (Real Madrid to Juventus) £105.3m

Oismane Dembele (Borussia Dortmund to Barcelona) £97m

Paul Pogba (Juventus to Man Utd) £89m

Gareth Bale (Tottenham to Real Madrid) £86m

Cristiano Ronaldo (Man Utd to Real Madrid) £80m

1. I’m convinced he wants to stay.
2. I’m convinced if that price is true he won’t be sold as there will be no buyers.

Stay and run your contract down and take the transfer fee in wages like Ramsey did, why hand it to Madrid, they haven't treated you well anyway.

Sit it out in the sun for the next 3 years as his contract runs down then aged 33 join Cardiff on a freebie.

As a top professional, I can’t see Bale running his contract down and not playing for football for 3 years or so and why would he?
Players like him are driven to play and win trophies not sit on a beach counting their money ffs.
