Gareth Bale would 'fit perfectly' in Real Madrid, says Luka Modric

Tottenham forward Gareth Bale‘s agent recently told Spanish television that the Wales winger might listen to an offer from Real Madrid if it comes his way. It is believed that the club is planning to pocket at least £85m from Bale’s move to Madrid.

Luka Modric, a current Real Madrid and former Tottenham player, said, “Bale would fit perfectly, we could really use him. He is the type of player who will help us take a step forward. He would give the team another dimension. His shot, his strength, his speed, his offensive power.”

Bale scored 26 goals for Tottenham last season, and is under a contract with the club till 2016. But his former teammate Modric dearly wants him to move to Santiago Bernabeu. Manchester United also are reportedly lining up for the 23-year-old Welshman.

“It is a complicated issue for me because I was with Tottenham. I can tell you we’re friends and he is an exceptional player. I guarantee it. And whether the club is Real Madrid, Tottenham or another, they can only win if they sign a player like that. If it is Real Madrid, it’s better for us,” said Modric.
