Gareth Bale tells Andre Villas-Boas he wants to leave Tottenham and join Real Madrid
Gareth Bales departure from Tottenham to Real Madrid appears to be edging closer after the Welsh star told boss Andre Villas-Boas he wanted to leave the Premier League club.
Bale trained with his Spurs team-mates today and, according to sources close to the player, took the opportunity to confirm his desire to move to La Liga face-to-face with his manager.
Madrid have been pursuing Bale all summer and have reportedly lodged a world-record offer of over £85million to get their man.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has so far held firm on his insistence that Bale is not for sale but the Spanish giants will be hoping the 24-year-olds decision to tell Villas-Boas he wants to leave could well be the final straw for the north Londoners.
Whether that will be the case remains to be seen but Real are not giving up on their man and are reportedly prepared to up their offer to a staggering £125m if they have to.
