Real Madrid are claiming a deal worth £105 million has been agreed with Tottenham for Gareth Bale. The Spanish giants were claiming on Thursday night that a staggering, world-record accord had been sealed with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy, says the Mirror.

Tottenham insist there is still work to be done though, with the clubs as yet unable to agree on which Real players will travel in the opposite direction as part of the move.

Levy wants any cash offer to exceed the world record £80m paid by Manchester United to Real for Cristiano Ronaldo four years ago, before a player is included.

Real have withdrawn left-back Fabio Coentrao - one of the players they are offering - from their friendly with LA Galaxy claiming "muscle issues".

But they have dismissed an attempt by the north Londoners to take Spain Under-21 striker Alvaro Morata.
