Bale unhappy as Tottenham boss AVB says he is not for sale

Tottenham star Gareth Bale is reportedly unhappy with manager Andre Villas-Boas.

The Portuguese tactician said that the Welsh winger was 'not for sale' after the weekend's friendly with Monaco which has angered the player in question as he eyes a possible summer move to Real Madrid.

Sky Sports reporter Amy Lewis said: "I've been speaking to a source close to Gareth Bale, who says that Bale is both unhappy and disappointed by the comments his manager made in that interview. In particular, that he is not for sale.

"Gareth Bale missed the match with Monaco yesterday because of a foot injury and I've been told it's unlikely he'll take part in training next week.

"A lot has been said about how much Madrid would be willing to pay for Bale. I've simply been told it's a world record fee, so upwards of £80m.

"It's not clear whether Bale will put in a transfer request but the source is still pretty confident that the player will be moving to Real Madrid. Nothing is imminent though."
