Tottenham Put $50m Price Tag on Gareth Bale

 

Tottenham have put a $50 million price tag on Gareth Bale – and would collect the entire transfer fee if he leaves after removing the 25% sell-on clause that was part of the original agreement with Southampton.

 

Tottenham sources insist that it would take $50m to sell Bale whose value has rocketed since the beginning of the season.

 

Nonetheless, Tottenham, who rewarded the Wales winger with a 4 year contract in May, have plans to extend his agreement with the club beyond 2014.

 

Tottenham wanted to tie Bale down to a six-year deal during his contract talks at the end of the season but the player’s camp insisted on a shorter agreement.

 

Nevertheless, Spurs, who rewarded the Wales winger with a four-year contract in May, have plans to extend his agreement with the club beyond 2014. Heightened interest from Europe's top clubs has convinced Tottenham they will need greater protection for the British midfielder when they come calling again next summer.
