Bale ready for Real Madrid talks to consider 'once-in-a-lifetime' 100 million pound opportunity

Welsh striker Gareth Bale has told Spurs that he wants to talk about a world record transfer to Real Madrid, as the Spanish giants warn that they are offering the striker a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and they want the deal done quickly or they will look elsewhere.

According to the Mirror, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is hoping to set up a summit with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy in Miami in the first week of August when Madrid are visiting the city on their pre-season tour.

Bale is to be offered a new contract to stay at White Hart Lane, but will refuse to sign it although he will not be asking for a transfer as he enjoys working with boss Andre Villas-Boas, but appreciates a chance like this may not come round again, the report said.

The Welsh flier now at least wants to listen to what Real Madrid has to say and the Spanish club see that as a clear sign that he is up for the move, the report added.
