Gareth Bale's impending move from Tottenham Hotspur to Real Madrid appears to be edging closer after it was reported that the Spanish giants are preparing for his presentation.

Spurs and Madrid have been in lengthy negotiations over the Wales international, who is believed to have been angling for a switch to La Liga in recent weeks.

While there has been no confirmation of Bale's transfer to Madrid as yet, Sky Sports News have broadcast images of the club erecting a player presentation stage at the Bernabeu.

The fee for Bale is expected to eclipse the £80m paid by Madrid to Manchester United for former Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo.
