Gareth Bale £55m Price Tag

Transfer Gossip: 13/01/13

Who:-   Gareth Bale (Tottenham)

To:- Real Madrid

Extra:-  Tottenham have placed a £55m price tag on Welsh winger Gareth Bale if the player were to leave in the summer.

Opinion:- Tottenahm are asking for a lot and £55m would break the record for the amount paid for a British player (currently £35m for Andy Carroll). I think Tottenham have come out and said this to perhaps scare some tempted to buy the winger off buying him, but so also that they get enough for him. I do think he will leave this summer and apparently Jose Mourinho is apparently willing to put in a £35m bid for the player. I do think Bale has been excellent this season and will leave for more than the £35 Mourinho is asking but I don’t think Spurs will get £55m. I think a compromise of around £45m perhaps could be enough for Tottenham to part with the tricky Welshman.
