Spurs lose hope of re-signing Bale

There is lots of pessimism around Tottenham at the moment with regards to the possible signing of Gareth Bale. Despite his insistence, Spurs think getting the striker looks complicated. 

According to 'Daily Mail', Tottenham have had several conversations with Real Madrid on the matter. However, they are not very convinced they will get their man. 

Real Madrid and Tottenham have apparently not reached an agreement financially. Real Madrid want a lot more money than Tottenham are willing to pay for him. 

Another stumbling block for the Premier League side is Bale's salary. The attacker earns 707,000 euros a week, an amount Tottenham cannot offer him. 

Jose Mourinho has always been a big fan of Gareth Bale. He is Mourinho's number one option to replace the injured Harry Kane. The market remains open, but in England they seem to be taking for granted that the Welshman, at least for now, will not move to Tottenham.
