Florentino Perez says Gareth Bale's transfer value has become too steep

Florentina Perez

After intense speculations regarding Real Madrid’s offer for Gareth Bale, Madrid President Florentino Perez has finally said that the Welsh international’s transfer value is proving too expensive for Los Blancos.

On Thursday, Perez said: “We talk with lots of people and will see what happens in all our negotiations with Bale.

“We do not usually talk about other players out of respect to the player, the club and the president with whom I have a good relationship.

“If I do talk about names, I do not talk about money, but £100?million seems a lot to me.”

Perez also said he has promised his manager Carlo Ancelotti that he’d try his best to lure Bale to Santiago Bernabeu from London.
