The wait is nearly over and one of the longest running transfer sagas appears to be reaching a conclusion. Gareth Bale is in Spain – and Marbella to be exact – waiting for final confirmation of his proposed move to Real Madrid.
Both Marca and AS have images of the Tottenham Hotspur winger sunbathing in Marbella, where his agent has a home, before he heads to Madrid to complete the deal.
Currently Madrid and Spurs are still locked in talks about the transfer. Los Blancos have offered two options – the first being a fee of around 99 million euros to be paid in four installments, the second being a one of payment of around 80 million euros.
Elsewhere, the keeper debate still goes on, but Marca claims Iker Casillas and Diego Lopez are tired of the constant talk and media speculation about their relationship, and that with the club and its fans.
In good news for the team, Asier Illarramendi has resumed full training as he looks to get his place in the team – to cover the injured Xabi Alonso.
