Perez personally involves in Bale deal

The chances of Gareth Bale becoming Real Madrid's latest 'Galáctico' hinge on Florentino Pérez. The 'Los Blancos' president believes that the club is the promised land for the top players and knows that there is no hotter property on the market right now than the Welsh wizard.

For this reason, Florentino is going to personally oversee the negotiations to sign the Welshman, as he has done with the rest of the 'Galácticos' since he first took up office in 2000.

Pérez has done nothing to play down the club's interest in Bale when speaking to the media, insisting: "He's one of the best players in Europe and Real Madrid is always interested in the best".

Nevertheless, despite this admission, the Real president has also stressed that the club is eager not to upset Tottenham, whose chairman he knows well. "I met the Tottenham president, Daniel Levy, last year, and he has a duty to protect his interests", Pérez recently stated.

That said, Florentino knows that Bale is the man the Real Madrid fans want to see and that he won't come cheap. Tottenham is known to play hardball when it comes to transfer negotiations and will do everything in its power to hold onto the Welshman.

Now is the time for Pérez to get down off the fence and fight for Bale. If he pulls off the coup, he could be set for a repeat of his favourite scene: himself unveiling a 'Galáctico' in front of a packed-out Bernabéu.
