Gareth Bale sent death threat by Spurs fan as he closes in on Real Madrid transfer
Gareth Bale was reportedly sent a death threat by an angry Tottenham fan this week as he closes in on a move to Real Madrid.
Bale, who has been chased by Madrid for much of the summer, is widely expected to complete a world record switch to the Bernabeu in the coming days.
But it seems his exit from Tottenham is likely to be far from smooth, with one supporter so outraged at Bales departure he made a threat against the players life.
According to the Daily Star, the 24-year-old was warned off making the move in a chilling anonymous phone call to Spurs Enfield-based training complex.
Bale was not present at the time, but the club are said to be taking the threat extremely seriously and have stepped up security around the training ground.
Its not yet clear whether the police have been involved, but the incident is believed to have shaken up Bale.
The news comes as Madrid step up their attempts to lure him to Spain, as fresh talks with Tottenham are expected before the weekend.
Madrid have already made an £85million offer for Bale, but Spurs are thought to want up to £120million to even consider doing business.
