Tottenham star Gareth Bale is in Spain today expecting to complete his world record move to Real Madrid. The Mail on Sunday says Bale landed in Spain to prepare to sign for Real Madrid - but Tottenham and the Spanish giants are still thrashing out the terms of the proposed world record move.
The 24-year-old Wales flew to Malaga in a private jet and then travelled by taxi to Marbella, where he is expected to stay while negotiations conclude, last-minute hitches permitting.
It is understood Real have tabled two separate offers for Bale, one of 100 million (£86m) involving a series of payments over three to four years, the other a one-off up-front payment of around £70m.
A player could also be thrown in as a makeweight in the second deal.
