Villas-Boas refuses to comment on Bale’s future

Andre Villas-Boas today refused to comment on stories in the Spanish media, that claimed that Real Madrid have launched a bid to sign Gareth Bale from Tottenham Hotspur.

On Friday, Madrid-based newspaper Marca, wrote that Bale had also informed Spurs chairman Daniel Levy, that he wanted to leave White hart Lane.

When asked about the reports at a press conference, Villas-Boas replied: “I don’t want to comment on anything like that. I cannot speak about anything.”

It is understood that the English club is not happy with Madrid’s public pursuit of the Welsh winger and Villas-Boas insisted that the 24-year-old will face Monaco next Saturday.

“He is going to be fit to join the team for training on Wednesday,” he said.

“He hasn’t done any training with the team yet but he was involved in some pre-season friendlies before that. He’s been almost at maximum training and we’re pretty confident that he’ll join us for the sessions and be involved.”
