Gareth Bale's boot sponsors Adidas are taking no chances when it comes to the Wales international's possible presentation at Real Madrid and already have a pair waiting in the Spanish capital, Spanish sports daily As reported on Friday.
.
With a deal to take the Tottenham Hotspur winger to the Bernabeu apparently imminent, As published a photo on its website (www.as.com) of what it said was the box Adidas sent by courier to Real's Valdebebas training facility.
.
It also showed a shipping document with the player's name on and "shoes" listed as the contents.
.
The paper also reported that a deal was in place in which Real will pay Spurs €84 million for Bale, plus a possible 7 million more linked to performance.
.
Real broke the record for the most expensive transfer in history when they bought Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United for around €94 million in 2009.
.
Spanish media reported this week that Adidas had already started selling Real shirts with Bale's name on at their store in Paris.
I think he should just move already before the transfer window closes and he's still in Tottenham. His service is needed in Spain!
