Gareth Bale has told Spurs he wants to talk to Real Madrid about a world record transfer.
The Spanish giants
are warning he is being offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity – and
they want the deal done quickly or they will look elsewhere.Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is hoping to set up a summit with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy in Miami in the first week of August when Madrid are visiting the city on their pre-season tour.
Bale is to be offered a new contract to stay at White Hart Lane , but will refuse to sign it although he will not be asking for a transfer.
He enjoys working with boss Andre Villas-Boas, but appreciates a chance like this may not come round again.

And Mirror Sport understands Manchester United are still waiting in the wings to move should Tottenham decide to sell.Welsh flier Bale now at least wants to listen to what Real Madrid have to say - and the Spanish club see that as a clear sign that he is up for the move.
Perez is desperately trying to turn up the heat on Spurs while safe in the knowledge that Bale is interested in the switch.
Real Madrid are ready to smash the world transfer record - set four years ago when they signed Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United for £80m - to land Bale.
Levy is understood to be adamant that Bale is not for sale and has assured Spurs boss Villas-Boas the club will resist any offer.
But Real Madrid are ready to come back with a new bid after being told the £51m in cash plus Angel Di Maria and Fabio Coentraou - worth £95 million - is of no interest to Spurs.

Tottenham have a new stadium to build but are also acutely aware that selling Bale is a bad sign to potential signings.They are closing in on Valencia’s Roberto Soldado but that deal was still not concluded last night and the Spaniard must be wondering about Bale’s future.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid’s players are hoping Bale comes with Alvaro Arbeloa saying: “I have played against Bale and no-one can doubt his quality.
“This type of player always interests a top club like Real Madrid because our challenge is to win titles.”
Sergio Ramos added: “Bale is a big player with big characteristics and can only add to our squad.”
