The transfer of the summer now appears merely a matter of hours away from being confirmed, and it could yet trigger further ins and outs at the Bernabeu before the end of the transfer window. According to Spanish radio station Cadena Cope, among other sources, the transfer of Gareth Bale from Tottenham Hotspur to Real Madrid will be officially announced on Friday. The delay in the confirmation of the deal is reportedly so it doesn’t overshadow a match to pay tribute to club legend Raul on Thursday evening.

Cadena Cope reports that Madrid will pay over €99 million to finally secure the Welsh attacker after a pursuit that has been ongoing for much of the summer. It is still remains to be seen whether Fabio Coentrao will be included in the deal.Marca has reported that Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy wants to keep the deals separate and sell Bale for the maximum price, €109 million. Madrid, on the other hand, are said to be eager to negotiate a price of €86 million plus Coentrao.
Certainly, though, the transfer now appears a matter of time. Further confirmation of such appeared to have been shown by Madrid temporarily having an option on the website of their club shop to purchase a shirt with “Bale 11” printed on the back.
Bale’s arrival has not been the only big transfer speculation involving Real Madrid in recent days. BBC Sport has reported that Arsenal are preparing deals for Madrid pair Karim Benzema and Angel Di Maria. With Bale coming in, it is certainly easy to imagine Di Maria heading in the other direction. Madrid already have a host of attacking midfielders and Di Maria was only afforded an appearance off the bench in the opening match of the club’s La Liga season on Sunday.
