Chelsea ready to bid 40 m pound for Tottenham’s Bale
April 26th, 2011 - 6:25 pm ICT by ANILondon, Apr. 26 (ANI): Chelsea is poised to make a 40-million-pound bid for Tottenham Hotspur star Gareth Bale this summer.
It maybe recalled that Bale signed a four-year deal with the Spurs last month worth 60,000 pounds per week.
The 21-year-old, who was voted the PFA Player of the Year, has not hidden his desire to play in Europe’s elite competition next season after lighting up the Champions League this season.
According to The Mirror, Chelsea have three main target areas for the summer, with Ajax right-back Gregory van der Wiel the prime target for that berth and a big-name central midfielder also on the agenda.
Tottenham will be reluctant to sell at any price, but persuading Bale - and Luka Modric and Rafael van der Vaart - to stay will be much harder if they cannot offer Champions League football.Defeat at Stamford Bridge could see Tottenham overtaken by Liverpool in the battle for fifth - and the Europa Cup place that goes with it - with just a handful of games left.
