Tottenham have made their first approach to sign a €150m-rated star, while Liverpool have been told a summer target has no price on his head, according to Thursday’s European papers.
TOTTENHAM MAKE LOAN BID FOR BALE
Tottenham are reported to have made contact with Real Madrid over a potential summer move for Gareth Bale.
The Wales forward seems destined to have his Bernabeu adventure brought to an end this summer following Zinedine Zidane’s return to the hotseat – but there are fears Real’s asking price could make it difficult for him to leave.
According to Don Balon, the LaLiga giants are asking for a whopping €150m this summer for Bale – a figure which is sure to scare off his Premier League suitors. The Spanish outlet also claims Bale has made a switch to Manchester United his No 1 priority this summer.
However, AS claims Tottenham will try to negate Real’s asking price by asking if they can take Bale on loan for the 2019/20 season – in the belief that a year in the Premier League will allow Real to get something nearer their astronomical asking price.
The Madrid-based paper claims Real are giving Tottenham’s offer some serious thought: they clearly want to get Bale off their books, but had hoped to use his transfer fee to reinvest in a playing squad that is badly needing of some upgrades.
However, they believe relenting to Tottenham’s request could work to their long-term benefit, while it’s also claimed it could help curry favour with Tottenham and in the LaLiga giants’ interest in Christian Eriksen.
