Tottenham win Gareth Bale fight as Real Madrid prepare to shelve transfer until next summer

Gareth Bale is set to sign a new deal at
Tottenham after Real Madrid admitted
DEFEAT in their bid to sign him.
The Spanish giants are understood to
have been told by Spurs that they will
reject all offers this summer for the
Footballer of the Year.
Bale is expected back at the north
Londoners on Monday for the start of
pre-season training.
And chairman Daniel Levy is set to
become the toast of Spurs fans after it
emerged Real are ready to shelve their
interest in the Welshman for 12 months
and try again next summer.
They have been publicly pursuing Bale
since April, with No.2 Zinedine Zidane
and president Florentino Perez insisting
no amount of money Spurs could demand
would scare them off.
But defiant Levy has steadfastly declared
Tottenham have no intention of
surrendering Bale to the Bernabeu side.
Real have backed off because they know
that - unlike with their midfielder Luka
Modric, who rocked the boat at White
Hart Lane summer until he got his move
to the Spaniards - Bale is much more
relaxed.
Despite admitting he misses playing in
the Champions League , former
Southampton star Bale has no worries
about spending another season in the
Europa League.
The Welshman has so far done nothing to
force Tottenham's hand and a transfer
request is out of the question.
With no release clause in Bale's contract
to trigger, Real have come to terms with
the fact that they cannot force Tottenham
into a position where they have to allow
the winger to speak to them.
