Redknapp rules out selling Bale
Tottenham Hotspur manager must shelve any plans to sell star winger Gareth Bale.
MADRID:
Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp has said that if his club wants to build a team for the future it must shelve any plans to sell star winger Gareth Bale.
“Once you start selling then I think it sends out the wrong signals,” said Redknapp. “Manchester United sold Cristiano Ronaldo but they got an offer of €80million so in the end it was good business. But we wouldn’t want to sell a player like Gareth Bale at this time, when we’re trying to build the club.” Bale, who signed a new four-year deal three weeks ago, admitted recently he would not rule out a move to one of Europe’s top club in the future.
