The Spurs boss has indicated the Welsh star
may be confirmed as a signing at the Bernabeu
in the next two days, but would not be
surprised if there continues to be delays
Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas has
confirmed that Gareth Bale is close to sealing
a world record move to Real Madrid.
Bale, 24, has been linked with a switch to
Madrid throughout the transfer window after a
spectacular season in the Premier League,
which saw the winger net 26 goals in all
competitions.
And the Wales international now finally
appears set to secure his long-awaited switch
to the Bernabeu, after Villas-Boas confirmed
that the two clubs are in advanced talks over a
transfer that will break the world record.
"At the moment the two clubs are speaking,"
Villas-Boas told reporters. I'm not sure how
much time it is going to take. It can can
happen very soon, it might not happen so
soon.
"I suppose it could go to the last day or it
could happen in next two days. But you
wouldn't expect the biggest transfer in world
football to happen easily."
The transfer fee is anticipated to smash the
existing world record, set by Real Madrid in
2009 when they paid Manchester United
€92million for the services of Cristiano
Ronaldo.
Bale's form in 2012-13 saw him complete a
clean sweep of the PFA awards, with the
Welshman winning the Players' Player of the
Year and PFA Young Player of the Year.
Bale joined Tottenham in 2007 from
Southampton for a reported fee of £7million.
