Barcelona scoff Tottenham Bale valuation

Barcelona president Sandro Rosell has hit out at Tottenham's 40m GBP valuation of Welsh wing wizard Gareth Bale, and insists his club would never match the current asking price.

"I do not know if Bale interests us," Rosell told Al Jazeera. "If I did, I would not say, because his price would go up, [Tottenham] would not ask for €40 million, but €50 million.


"In any case, even if we wanted him, we would never pay €40 million (£33.2 million) for him."


Tottenham have always insisted that they would like to keep Bale, and value the midfielder at high prices to scare off potential suitors.
