Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho denies interest in Gareth Bale of Tottenham Hotspur
Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho has indicated that he is not trying to sign Tottenham Hotspur’s rising star Gareth Bale.
The Portuguese has claimed that the price tag on the Welshman will make it very difficult for Madrid to land the player.
It is no secret that Mourinho is a huge fan of Gareth Bale. The Real Madrid boss has already prophesised that the winger will develop into one of the best players in the world. However, Mourinho claims that there is no room for the Welshman in the current
Real Madrid squad.
Speaking on the possibility of signing Gareth Bale from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer, Mourinho said, “We have players for that position. We have Cristiano (Ronaldo) who plays in the same position he plays, and Marcelo at left-back. When you want to spend
big money you do it in areas where you have problems, but I have no doubt he is a very good boy.”
He added, “I was one of the first to say he will be an amazing player. I was saying that when he was not known in European football, just in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749, so I know the great player he is.”
Mourinho also believes that Tottenham Hotspur are asking too much for the winger. Bale is valued at around 50 million pounds, an amount which the Real Madrid manager claims is a stumbling block in any potential deal.
He said, “I think for the amount of money involved, it is not easy to buy.”
Bale has constantly impressed in the ongoing 2010-11 season, especially in his outings in the Champions League. The winger got a sensational hat-trick against holders http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan earlier in the season, establishing himself as a force to be reckoned with
down the left flank.
Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur will go head to head in the Champions League quarter-finals this week. If http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gareth-Bale-c14422 can produce the kind of performance he is known for in this competition once again, Mourinho might just be forced to reconsider his stance
on the player.
