Gareth Bale's future at Spurs is uncertain
Both Marca and AS - two newspapers with offices close to the Bernabeu - have this morning claimed that the transfer is close to being finalised.
The papers both run giant images of Bale on their front pages.
Marca write that the deal could be completed in the matter of hours because 24-year-old Bale wants one thing: to play for Real Madrid.
Marca's verdict on Gareth Bale
“The odds on Bale joining Madrid this transfer crashed into 2/5 this morning”
The relationship between Marca and Madrid is a close one and some accused Real of trying to unsettle the Welshman by using the paper.
AS, meanwhile, go with a front-page headline that "Bale has landed".
The odds on Bale joining Madrid this transfer crashed into 2/5 this morning before drifting to around 1/2.
He is now as big as 6/4 to stay at Tottenham with Paddy Power.
Manchester United were also interested in the wing wonder but they are set to miss out.
