Gareth Bale's fate took a dramatic twist on Sunday night when Spurs chairman Daniel Levy cut
short his holiday and flew to London for crunch talks with the £85million-rated winger.
Levy had informal discussions with the Welshman during his brief trip to Hong Kong for the
Barclays Asia Trophy last week. The chairman was scheduled to fly back to Florida to continue
his family holiday, but instead he travelled to London on Sunday.
Bale has a strong relationship with staff and supporters at the club but he wants answers from
Levy as Real Madrid prepare to test Tottenham with a world record bid.
Levy insists he will not sell his star asset but
Bale, 24, is demanding to know whether there has
been any contact between Real and Spurs over
his potential transfer to the Bernabeu.
Although he has not submitted a transfer request,
it is now becoming a realistic option if he wants
to pursue his ambition of playing for the world’s
biggest team.
Real’s posturing has gone so far this summer that
there is no turning back and they have little
option but to make a written offer to Spurs. Many
of Bale’s team-mates understand the lure of Real
Madrid and expect him to leave if they match
Spurs’ valuation.
