Manchester City are believed to preparing a massive bid to tempt Tottenham to sell star man Gareth Bale this summer, according to Mirror Football.
The Wales international winger has been recognised as one of the most devastating wingers in the European game, with stellar performances domestically and in the Champions League leading to the wideman receiving the PFA Player of the Year Award last term.
Barcelona have been credited with an interest in Bale, with the player’s future hanging in the balance as he waits to see where Tottenham finish in the Premier League standings this season.
The newspaper indicate that Roberto Mancini’s men will offer the White Hart Lane club £40 million plus players in exchange for the star’s services.
Emmanuel Adebayor would be one set to go to north London permanently, with Adam Johnson or Nigel De Jong other players that could be included.
City are also ready to triple Bale’s wages to well over £100,000-a-week.
