Gareth Bale has been left unhappy and angry, after Tottenham Hotspur rejected a world record £82million bid for him from Real Madrid.
The Welsh winger did not play in his club’s pre-season friendly in Hong Kong on Saturday and reports claim he does not see himself wearing the colours of the English club again.
Manager Andre Villas-Boas insisted that the 24-year-old is injured and will return next Saturday against Monaco, but Bale is said to be fit, but not willing to feature.
After the game, Villa-Boas, who before now has always been supremely confident of keeping his star player said: “I won’t comment on anything. I am so sorry,’ he said. ‘I can’t speak about speculation.”
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy, who knows how to drive a hard bargain, is not willing to let Bale go and would rather offer him a new contract.
