Gareth Bale is worth more than Neymar

Gareth Bale is a much better player than Brazilian star Neymar, according to the Tottenham player’s agent.

Neymar joined Barcelona earlier this week on a five-year deal but neither Neymar nor the clubs released details on the transfer fee or personal terms. Real Madrid were also said to have made a bid for the 21-year-old, who opted to move to the Catalan giants.

Bale’s agent Jonathan Barnett was speaking on the Futboleros show on MarcaTV on Tuesday and said: “He is a much better player than Neymar, he has proven himself in one of the best leagues in the world, the Premier League,”

“And I would hope any club wanting him, would not want him because they lost out on Neymar but because he was first choice.

“This is all crazy, but whatever Neymar cost – Gareth Bale is worth more.”

Barnett’s comments about a club wanting him after missing out on Neymar is a blatant message to Real Madrid. It’s all becoming very worrying and unsettling – Daniel Levy needs to take note and act.
