Gareth Bale move to Tottenham to be completed this week, agent says


Steve Luckings
  • English
  • Arabic

The agent of Gareth Bale says he hopes the player's move back to Tottenham Hotspur can be completed by the end of this week.

Negotiations between the two clubs are ongoing and have been described by Jonathan Barnett as "complicated", not least by Bale's astronomical wages worth a reported £600,000 per week.

Barnett acknowledges that while the finer details of a proposed move are still to be finalised, he expects the Wales forward to seal a return to the club he left for a world-record £85 million (Dh402m) in 2013.

"We're getting there," Barnett told AFP. "I think it will be completed this week."

Madrid have been desperate to offload the 31-year-old Bale for more than a year and scuppered a proposed move to China last summer by insisting on a transfer fee at the 11th hour.

But Tottenham are expected initially to take Bale on loan as part of a package that includes them paying around half of his wages, as well as some additional payments, depending on the Welshman's performances.

Bale has made plain his desire to leave the Bernabeu and return to the club where he scored 55 goals in 203 games after being told by the Spanish champions he is persona not grata.

The former Southampton player's relationship with manager Zinedine Zidane and Madrid fans - never great even in the best of times - is currently at rock bottom and unlikely to ever be salvaged.

While Bale can justly say he has helped Madrid burgeon a trophy cabinet with four Champions League, two La Liga, one Copa del Rey and three Club World Cup titles, his detractors can just as easily point to an injury record that would make most wince.

In his seven years in the Spanish capital, Bale has played in just 46 per cent of Madrid's games, although 105 goals in 251 goals is the type of return that has encouraged Spurs that he is worth the gamble.

Assuming the deal goes ahead, Bale will join Jose Mourinho at Spurs, who reiterated on Wednesday that he tried to sign the forward while he was in charge of Real Madrid.

"I tried to sign him during my time at Real Madrid and the president followed my instinct and knowledge and the season I left, he brought Gareth to the club," Mourinho said. "That's no secret and Gareth knows that."

Tottenham are also close to completing the signing of Real Madrid left-back Sergio Reguilon for around €30 million (Dh130m).

Reguilon enjoyed an excellent 2018/19 season for Madrid but Zidane sent the 23-year-old on loan last year to Sevilla, where he helped them finish fourth in La Liga and win the Europa League.

Spurs are hoping to have the Spain international registered in time for Sunday's Premier League clash against Southampton.

The North London club lost their opening fixture 1-0 to Everton at home last week.

TEACHERS' PAY - WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Pay varies significantly depending on the school, its rating and the curriculum. Here's a rough guide as of January 2021:

- top end schools tend to pay Dh16,000-17,000 a month - plus a monthly housing allowance of up to Dh6,000. These tend to be British curriculum schools rated 'outstanding' or 'very good', followed by American schools

- average salary across curriculums and skill levels is about Dh10,000, recruiters say

- it is becoming more common for schools to provide accommodation, sometimes in an apartment block with other teachers, rather than hand teachers a cash housing allowance

- some strong performing schools have cut back on salaries since the pandemic began, sometimes offering Dh16,000 including the housing allowance, which reflects the slump in rental costs, and sheer demand for jobs

- maths and science teachers are most in demand and some schools will pay up to Dh3,000 more than other teachers in recognition of their technical skills

- at the other end of the market, teachers in some Indian schools, where fees are lower and competition among applicants is intense, can be paid as low as Dh3,000 per month

- in Indian schools, it has also become common for teachers to share residential accommodation, living in a block with colleagues

Key findings of Jenkins report
  • Founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan al Banna, "accepted the political utility of violence"
  • Views of key Muslim Brotherhood ideologue, Sayyid Qutb, have “consistently been understood” as permitting “the use of extreme violence in the pursuit of the perfect Islamic society” and “never been institutionally disowned” by the movement.
  • Muslim Brotherhood at all levels has repeatedly defended Hamas attacks against Israel, including the use of suicide bombers and the killing of civilians.
  • Laying out the report in the House of Commons, David Cameron told MPs: "The main findings of the review support the conclusion that membership of, association with, or influence by the Muslim Brotherhood should be considered as a possible indicator of extremism."

Politics in the West
'The worst thing you can eat'

Trans fat is typically found in fried and baked goods, but you may be consuming more than you think.

Powdered coffee creamer, microwave popcorn and virtually anything processed with a crust is likely to contain it, as this guide from Mayo Clinic outlines: 

Baked goods - Most cakes, cookies, pie crusts and crackers contain shortening, which is usually made from partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. Ready-made frosting is another source of trans fat.

Snacks - Potato, corn and tortilla chips often contain trans fat. And while popcorn can be a healthy snack, many types of packaged or microwave popcorn use trans fat to help cook or flavour the popcorn.

Fried food - Foods that require deep frying — french fries, doughnuts and fried chicken — can contain trans fat from the oil used in the cooking process.

Refrigerator dough - Products such as canned biscuits and cinnamon rolls often contain trans fat, as do frozen pizza crusts.

Creamer and margarine - Nondairy coffee creamer and stick margarines also may contain partially hydrogenated vegetable oils.

Key figures in the life of the fort

Sheikh Dhiyab bin Isa (ruled 1761-1793) Built Qasr Al Hosn as a watchtower to guard over the only freshwater well on Abu Dhabi island.

Sheikh Shakhbut bin Dhiyab (ruled 1793-1816) Expanded the tower into a small fort and transferred his ruling place of residence from Liwa Oasis to the fort on the island.

Sheikh Tahnoon bin Shakhbut (ruled 1818-1833) Expanded Qasr Al Hosn further as Abu Dhabi grew from a small village of palm huts to a town of more than 5,000 inhabitants.

Sheikh Khalifa bin Shakhbut (ruled 1833-1845) Repaired and fortified the fort.

Sheikh Saeed bin Tahnoon (ruled 1845-1855) Turned Qasr Al Hosn into a strong two-storied structure.

Sheikh Zayed bin Khalifa (ruled 1855-1909) Expanded Qasr Al Hosn further to reflect the emirate's increasing prominence.

Sheikh Shakhbut bin Sultan (ruled 1928-1966) Renovated and enlarged Qasr Al Hosn, adding a decorative arch and two new villas.

Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan (ruled 1966-2004) Moved the royal residence to Al Manhal palace and kept his diwan at Qasr Al Hosn.
