Former Tottenham boss David Pleat believes Gareth Bale could be sold this summer. Pleat admits an offer of £100m could force Tottenham to sell Bale to Real Madrid.

He told talkSPORT: "I don't think there's been a written offer or any direct contact between the clubs. There have been so many mixed message form media. The club is keeping its counsel.

"Tottenham have control. They will decide if he goes. I don't think there's the panic from the club's point of view that there seems to be in the media. The club mustn't bow to the pressure from outside.

"But they were talking £50m, £60m earlier in the summer - the press were anyway. This could rise to something crazy like £100m, which would blow any club out of the water.

"At that stage, even Tottenham, who have resisted strongly, may have to look at it. How do you resist that type of money? Manchester United couldn't resist it for Ronaldo."
