Gareth Bale has reportedly left England and is in Marbella, waiting to sign his contract with Real Madrid. He has been absent from Tottenham training, creating a strained situation with the club. The signing, expected to be completed over the weekend, is yet to be officially announced.
In anticipation of Bale’s departure, Tottenham is making preparations for his replacement. Erik Lamela, an Argentine attacking midfielder from AS Roma, has reportedly signed for Tottenham. The transfer amount, including bonuses, is reported to be thirty-five million euros.
Tottenham has agreed to sell Gareth Bale to Real Madrid for a record-breaking fee of 99 million euros. This would surpass the previous record set by Real Madrid in 2009 when they spent 94 million euros to acquire Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United.
The protracted nature of Bale’s transfer has added a sense of anticipation and speculation, with fans and pundits eagerly awaiting the official announcement.
