TOTTENHAM star Gareth Bale has SIGNED for Real Madrid for £76.5m, a self-proclaimed FIFA agent has claimed

But the Spanish 'agent' Francois Gallardo has been dismissed as a fantasist and an attention-seeker by internet critics.
"Real Madrid has signed Bale for €90m. The signing is closed from this week but Real Madrid wait to make it official to have a new coach announced," Gallardo said.
"I have information and I assure you that Gareth Bale is already player of Real Madrid."

However, Gallardo has a history in revealing unreliable transfer news.
He last year claimed that John Terry was set for Valencia - and that he was negotiating the deal.
Of course, it never happened.
Gallardo claims on his LinkedIn account he is a FIFA agent - but FIFA haven't licensed agents since 2001.
Has Francois got his calendar stuck on April 1?
