Madrid Prepare Huge Player-Plus-Cash Bale Offer & Tempt Ace With Lucrative 5-Year-Deal

With the summer transfer window set to re-open, there is plenty of gossip doing the rounds in the newspapers so we’ll keep you up-to-date with the latest transfer rumours. Today, Real Madrid prepare a huge move for Gareth Bale.

Real Madrid are ready to make their move for Gareth Bale and offer Tottenham a huge player-plus-cash deal and tempt the Welsh ace with lucrative 5-year contract to move to the Bernabeu, according to the Daily Star.

Bale has enjoyed a sensational season in the Premier League, scoring 26 goals in 44 games, and his form earned him a whole host of honours including the PFA Player of the Year.

The report claims Spurs have offered the Welshman a new deal worth £150,000-a-week to keep him at White Hart Lane, with the new contract believed to include a clause that will allow him to leave next summer for £50m.

However, the Star suggest Real Madrid president Florentino Perez wants Bale this summer and is prepared to offer the attacker a five-year deal with the guarantee of beating Tottenham’s wage’s, while it will also be topped up with a lucrative image rights deal that would earn the player a significant sum each season.

The newspaper report claims the Spanish giants are prepared to pay up to £43m – which is below Tottenham’s valuation – but are willing to offer Pepe, Marcello, Gonzalo Higuain or Angel di Maria as potential make-weights in any deal. Tottenham are thought to be only interested in striker Higuain but may face a tough task persuading the Argentine to leave Madrid for a team that cannot offer Champions League football.

Spurs are no doubt desperate to keep hold of Bale but it looks like their resolve is going to be severely tested this summer. Chairman Daniel Levy is a shrewd negotiator but many will remember he took a hard line with Luka Modric last summer before eventually caving in and selling the midfielder to Real. Will the same happen with Bale? We’ll have to wait and see….
