Gareth Bale Transfer Saga V.2

Sky Sports understand that the deal to take Gareth Bale from Tottenham to Real Madrid is edging "ever closer".

Bale arrived at Tottenham's Hertfordshire training ground as normal on Friday but all eyes are on the Bernabeu as the football world waits on what is expected to be a world record transfer fee.

Speaking from Madrid, Sky Sports News reporter Andy Burton revealed that Bale could finally sign for Real this weekend.

"Sources among the coaching staff at Real say the deal is being done at 'presidential level' and that it has been going on for so long that it would be pretty remarkable were it to fall through now," Burton said.

"There was talk on Wednesday night that a deal was hours away - that was then scaled back a bit because there was a tribute match to Raul and the feeling was the club held back on an announcement to get that out of the way.

"That game has now gone ahead and the focus has moved on - this morning's Marca has a double page spread claiming 'Done Deal' and quoting a price of 99m Euros (£84.7m) and a six-year contract that has been agreed but not signed.

"Sources here tell me they may have jumped the gun a little but we certainly know this deal is edging closer - there were nine pages in Marca today including features on how he would fit into the Real line-up.

"There are cameramen from all of the Spanish sports papers here outside the players' entrance just in case - and we understand that this deal is edging ever closer."

Cant wait to see his presentation.I love watching player presentations.

I even watched Quaresma's presentation at Besiktas some years ago even though i dint understand a word.

Marca saying 99m euros.

AS and EC saying 91 millions. Marca got their number from Cope, they have sources, no one talking to them

AS and EC >>>>>>>> Marca

Do Madrid normally reveal the fee on their website ?

Nah, can't remember ever seeing a fee.

Not during the signing but Madrid cant lie about the fee because they have to publish the fee in annual financial report which is released to public in next march.

Still hoping this deal somehow doesn't go through. 91m for Bale.  

Shit happened  

Looks like they've started building his cage already.

 Yeah, it's not possible for Madrid to lie because they would eventually look stupid in the annual financial report that is public.

Either they say nothing or the truth at signing.

I guess we'll find out in a few hours.

Florentino

Bale to end up at United this time next year.

Madrid wont give up on their investments so easily even if he massively flops.Why would/should they anyway.

I believe he is brought as the CR replacement when and once he leaves so i can see him stay for long actually.

No but they revealed Illarramendi's signing cost.

A more Spanish style of play with Bale and Cristiano
