Real Madrid Transfer News: Carlo Ancelotti Confirms Club In Talks With Tottenham Over A Move For Gareth Bale

Aug 01, 2013 08:57 AM EDT

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti admitted Wednesday that the Spanish giants are in talks with Tottenham over a move that will include Gareth Bale.

Bale returned to training yesterday and told Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas he wants out of the club, despite being reluctant to hand in a transfer request.

Ancelotti said Madrid are looking to find a "solution" on Bale, and have already launched an £85million world record bid, with reports suggesting Spurs are holding out for £90million or more.

Ancelotti said discussions are ongoing with the north London side.

"The squad is very good, as I have said many times there is quality, experience, character and it is young," he explained.

"It's hard to talk about Bale as a player of Madrid, let's see what happens. I am very happy with the squad and with the work we are doing.

"I've never talked to Bale because they usually do not talk to players from another team and now we would just talk to him.

"All players are working well, we have not discussed anything about outputs, so it is not true about Modric - he is a player very important to us. Modric will play with us this season.

"The club is talking right now to find a solution to the case of Bale, but there is no news in this regard."
