I believe it was 80 million pounds, which at the time was 94 million euro, but an astonishing sum of money.
Even with AVB and Baldini's good records in the transfer market, I don't want Bale to leave, no amount of money could convince me if I was Levy. I would prefer Bale over the potential of having 3 other world class players.
All these reports have been a complete mess by the way, no official word has been made by Madrid(apart from something speculative from Zidane), Spurs, Bale or any of the players linked in a possible trade plus money move. There is still something in my head saying Bale doesn't want to leave but he hasn't come forward in all these reports, could be him staying silent while he works a way to Madrid or it could be the clubs order telling him not to speak while they reject Madrid's advances.
