A Gareth Bale twitter rumour, we've been here before, and how let down were we. This morning Marca reports that Bale has asked to leave White Hart Lane.. but has he really.
The English pages of Marca.com/en state the following
The first conversation between Pérez and Daniel Levy about the possible purchase of Bale took place one month ago. However, negotiations did not advance and the pair agreed to speak again further ahead. Pérez seemed to understand that a formal offer could be made, to which Levy responded that the Welshman would not be sold.
This indicates that Real Madrid may have already made Tottenham an approach for Bale in recent weeks. It is believed the fee would be at least €80-85 million and could include Fabio Coentrao in exchange. However, such a deal could be extremely difficult to pull off.
Not exactly iron clad..
