Gareth Bale's £85m transfer to Real Madrid looks imminent as stage is set at ... - Telegraph.co.uk

Despite the scaffolding in the stands and Bale's 11 shirt already being on sale in the club shop there still seems to be some confusion over the final price.

Madrid will have set a new world record in the transfer market for the fourth time in their history if the fee does reach £85 million but sources close to Perez were maintaining last night that the final amount will not pass £78 million.

What does seem clear is that Madrid will pay Tottenham Hotspur over four years and that no other players will be included in the transfer.
