Apparently he's willing to take a wage cut to £250k according to sourcesBut Bale earns 600k
That leaves us very short on squad depth.If you sell Rose, Aurier, and Gazzaniga you’ve opened 175k in wages. Sissoko and Lamela are another combined 160k. Vertonghen’s 100k has already come off.
250k is about £12.5m a season, which I feel confident we could rustle up for as big of a signing as Bale. If you needed to sell to get that money, we could without seriously harming the quality of the team.
If that is the only way to do it then sure but leaves us with only lo celso who can play n.o10 and then only ndombele who can play as 6/8 creative CM so not ideal for squad balance tbh.People can slag off Levy. But you can't doubt the man when it comes to the numbers.
That would be insanely creative and beneficial for all parties imo.
I don't think Dele would enjoy his time in Madrid... those fans are brutal to players like Bale!

Ndombele through balls to Bale & Son.... ???I’m probably Deles biggest blindest defender here but the mere fact that I keep having to defend him has worn on me. Love the kid, but maybe a move to a club like that where he will be super motivated but also can’t hide will be good for him, and if you offer me two years of Bale or five of Dele, I’m taking two of Bale.
I’d rather not sell Dele to buy Bale but fuck it, if we get back a once in generation world class player then it’s worth the sacrifice. Probably also means we’d finally switch to a three man midfield, enter Ndombele.
