While Real Madrid Coach Jose Mourinho was spending a few days in London this week, many speculated that he was shutting a deal with Chelsea FC to return as Coach next season.
However other sources had reported that Mourinho was doing something else. He was preparing the next season & in particular tying down the signing of Tottenham Hotspurs 24 year old Welsh star Gareth Bale.
Mourinho was in constant contact with Real Madrid President Florentino Perez & apart from agreeing to transfer Bale shut a deal of cooperation between both Clubs with preference options over players etc..
The deal struck for Bale is a 5 season contract with a salary around 9M€ per season. Although players were not initially in the deal the names of the following players getting into the operation have not been discarded: Higuain, Benzema, Denis Cheryshev & Jese Rodriguez.
The transfer figure has not been mentioned & this news is not yet official. As we all know until both Clubs make a statement the Real Madrid - Gareth Bale signing remains in the realm of rumour & speculation. What can be said is that the news between both has been long & persistent & this does give weight to the idea of a professional union.
Stay tuned.
