Report: Real Madrid to let Spurs sign star on a free transfer

Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to strengthen their squad this summer transfer window after reaching their first ever Champions League final.

If Daniel Levy needed any proof that this Spurs side is capable of winning major titles with investment, then this surely has to be it.

It has previously been reported that the Tottenham chairman will grant Pochettino with a £100m war chest to work with this summer (Sun), after having gone on a 15-month signing-less run.

However, could the most significant summer signing for Spurs come in the form of a free transfer, according to The Times, this could be true.

The report states that Real Madrid may be willing to let Gareth Bale move to Man United or Tottenham on a free, as he is currently collecting wages of £13m per year (Express).

The 29-year-old still has many years left at the top, and the only sticking point for Levy and Spurs may be the wages. However, if Bale is willing to take a big pay cut, could we see him back in North London?

Spurs Web Opinion:

If Tottenham could somehow scoop Bale for under £50m and put him on wages of around £150,000 a week then I would be all for the transfer. However, it seems unlikely that the Welshman would take that big of a pay cut to rejoin his old club. We will just have to wait and see what happens this summer.
