Tottenham Ready to Hear £12m Offer from Juventus for Rejuvenated Full Back Bale
Source: Caughtoffside.com
Reports coming from Italy state that Tottenham full back Gareth Bale is being closely monitored by Juventus with a view to a bid being made by the Old Lady of Italian football in the summer. The young Welsh international was previously targeted by AC Milan and Roma but no official move was made by either side.
The intelligent left sided player has experienced something of a resurgence over the past few months and has become a regular starter as Tottenham have fought for a fourth place finish. It had appeared that Harry Redknapp was going to give up on the former Southampton man who had for a long time flattered to deceive and made too many errors to warrant a spot in the first team.
However injury to Benoit Assou Ekotto led to Bale getting another shot in the starting eleven and he hasn’t looked back since. Juventus have had a torrid time of it this season and having sacked Ciro Ferrara they haven’t seen their fortunes change too dramatically under Alberto Zaccheroni and could find themselves finishing out of the European places all together unless they reverse their poor streak.
Tottenham are reportedly open to the idea of offloading the 20 year old but wouldn’t do so for anything less than a reported £12m, which may be a fee that the Turin club is not willing to fork out for a player who four months ago was seemingly surplus to requirements at White Hart Lane.
Theres been talk of Bale going to Italy for a few years now so large pinch of salt taken but if true then they can forget only £12M!
