Mischievous twists in Bale transfer talk emerge

The Daily Star believe that Gareth Bale (or at least, his representative on planet Earth, Mr Jonathan Barnett) has advised Manchester United that a move to the Red Devils is there to be done, only in respect of permanent move to Old Trafford.

This would put an entirely different spin on the ongoing discussions between Tottenham and Real Madrid, as suddenly an onerous transfer fee would be involved, which is thought to be worth about £20million. Additionally, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would be facing a colossal wage bill that would need to assimilated into the club’s payroll.

Whereas, if the financial impact of Bale to Spurs could be mitigated somewhat by Dele All going the other way, then Daniel Levy would have distinct advantage when it came to tackling what is otherwise a prohibitive salary.

The Express quote Gabby Agbonlahor saying on talkSPORT that this would be a good way of ridding himself of Dele Alli.

“Jose Mourinho can kill players, he’s done it in every club he has been at. At Man United he tried to do it with Pogba with Shaw and I feel like Dele Alli might be his new target.”
