Real Madrid have attempted to ease the tension with Tottenham over their bid for Gareth Bale. The Mirror says the saga has been dragging on, with Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas last week insisting that Real should show more respect.
And it is understood that the Spanish giants have moved to try and make peace.
Real's director general Jose Angel Sanchez has been in contact with Tottenham technical director Franco Baldini to try to smooth things over, confirm the US meeting and discuss potential player-plus-cash elements in the Bale deal.
