The report claims that Spurs Chairman Daniel Levy recently contacted Florentino Perez regarding the purchase of Gareth Bale. The meeting has left him confident that he can convince Real Madrid to part ways with the 30-year old. However, the Lilywhites are still struggling to strike an agreement with Bale regarding his salary. The Welshman earns an exorbitant £500,000 a week at the Bernabeu.
