Andre Villas-Boas has refused to deny that Real Madrid have made a bid for Gareth Bale.
According to an article in The Guardian today, Villas-Boas was asked point-blank whether the reports in Marca that Bale wants to join Real Madrid were true or not.
Villas-Boas replied:
“I don’t want to comment on anything like that. I cannot speak about anything.”
Villas-Boas then refused to confirm or deny if there had been any official offers. “I don’t want to comment.”
Either the Tottenham Hotspur manager is sick of being asked about Bale’s future at the club, or there may be some truth to the article published in the Spanish media.
Marca reported that Real Madrid have made an offer of £51million to sign Bale.
