real to wait on gareth bale

Florentino Perez admits Real Madrid would have
no qualms paying big money for Tottenham
Hotspur's Gareth Bale, but he says they need to
wait for their new coach to be appointed before
making any moves.
Perez has not hidden his admiration for Bale and
he insists that the club would have no problem
paying what is needed, with claims that Spurs
would demand a world record £85million for the
Welshman.
But Perez - who began the 'Galactico' way of
thinking at the club - insists that big money buys,
such as Bale, pay for themselves.
"Madrid always want the best. Tottenham is a very amicable
club, but first we must see who our new coach will be and
after that we will begin to arrange our new squad," he told
Marca.
"I think the same as if we were to have a tennis team and
Rafael Nadal asked me for these millions. For players like this
- the investment they generate you and the revenue they
produce, you can give everything to try and get them.
"I demonstrated in 2000 that with players like this you can
change the dynamic, going from losing to winning.
"Then you have to look carefully at the player involved. We are
not going to talk too much about Bale because he plays at a
very amicable club and they will be annoyed by too much talk
about him I know their chairman well and he doesn't like
things like that.
"But I repeat, we have a long list, but there will be one
particular player, of course."
Perez also spoke about Gonzalo Higuain and he insisted that
no club has yet made contact with Real Madrid - despite
Juventus and Arsenal both reportedly opening talks with the
player.
He also warned any club that they would not get Higuain on
the cheap.
"To date no team has told us of his interest in Higuain. I do not
know what will happen tomorrow," he said.
But on Higuain's reported fee of £25million, he warned: "With
£25million it's better that they don't come.
"Let's see if people ask us for £50m for everyone and we sell
one of ours for half that."
Perez also insisted that he does not see Cristiano Ronaldo not
continuing his Real Madrid adventure.
"Ronaldo will close his career at Real Madrid, I think that is
only natural," he said.
