GARETH BALE has rocked Tottenham by telling chairman Daniel Levy he wants to join Real Madrid.
According to Spanish paper Marca, Bale has accused Levy of broken promises after Spurs snubbed an offer from the La Liga giants.
It had been thought that Andre Villas-Boas could tempt the PFA Player of the Year into one more season in North London.
But Villas-Boas’ hopes have today been torn to shreds by the dramatic revelation that Bale wants out.
Marca have claimed that Bale spelled out his desire to quit Spurs in a powderkeg meeting with transfer supremo Levy last week.
He is reported to have said: “You made me a promise. You promised me if we didn’t qualify for the Champions League and a good offer turned up you’d listen to it.
“Well that offer has arrived and I want to play for Real Madrid. So keep your word and negotiate.”
