Ex-Real Madrid GM Valdano slams Man Utd target Bale: He's not worth €100M

Former Real Madrid GM Jorge Valdano has taken aim at Gareth Bale - and his valuation.

It's been suggested Real president Florentino Perez is prepared to sell Bale this summer, insisting €100m was the right price.

Manchester United and former club Tottenham have both been in contact, but Valdano says Perez needs to get real about Bale's price.

"Nothing that Bale does is worth 100 million and it is the number on his shirt," rapped the Argentine.

However, Valdano believes Antoine Griezmann's buyout clause in his Atletico Madrid contract is cheap.

He also told Onda Cero: "Griezmann is the best striker, a good midfielder and contributes a lot in defence, for this market he is a cheap player."
