Real Madrid has announced that they will not be held to ransom by Tottenham over a fee for Gareth Bale, simply saying that €100million is a lot of money.
Real's president Florentino Perez has insisted on several different occasions that the Spanish giants are prepared to make a world record bid for Bale, but Spurs chairman Daniel Levey is holding out on a £105million bid and has not considered anything higher than £85m they are understood to have offered.
Perez has insisted that the offer they've placed on the table is more than enough.
He said: "If I do not talk about names, I do not talk about money.
"[But] 100 (euros) million seems a lot to me, a lot for everything."
In the meantime, Tottenham look to continue on with their other business as they look poised to break their transfer record for the second time this summer with the €30m (£26m) signing of Roberto Soldado from Valencia. They paid £17m for the midfielder Paulinho from Corinthians, which eclipsed their previous record outlay - the £16.5m spent to take Luka Modric from Dynamo Zagreb in 2008.
They're also pushing to sign the 23-year-old Romania and Steaua Bucharest central defender Vlad Chiriches, although it has been reported that the club's owner, Gigi Becali, who is in jail, is unhappy for the deal to proceed.
