He clearly likes being at Spurs and clearly likes AVB (co-incidence or not, his new daughter has been named Alba Violet Bale).
Also, if we finish in the top 4 he'll get a new contract with a very substantial wage rise ... and have the the prospect of CL football.
In addition, I don't think Levy is ready to sell, not least because he's still in the process of seeking a deal for stadium naming rights (for the new stadium) and in this regard knows the value of having a super-star name at the club.
Taken all together, if we finish in the top 4 then I very much doubt that Bale will be leaving this summer.
I admire your positivism. But money talks and if Bale wants away and they get a big offer, why would he stay?
If you believe the papers he has the right to speak to certain clubs as agreed in his new contract. If a Real Madrid come in for him that's a chance that may not come again.
I think he might consider his position - specifically whether Spurs likely to be challenging for the title next year. Without serious investment and some really top players coming in I cant see it.
The CL is a big carrot - but if he moves on he's obviously only going to a CL side anyway.
