Gareth Bale will be unveiled as a Real Madrid player on Monday after his prolonged transfer from Tottenham Hotspur was finally completed for an unconfirmed world record fee late on Sunday.
.
The Welshman has agreed a six-year deal believed to be worth €10 million net a year and will be presented to the media and the club's fans after undergoing a medical in the Spanish capital.
.
Widespread reports in England have suggested that the move will make Bale the world's most expensive player with Real set to pay €101 million for his services.
.
However, media in Spain insisted that Real will only pay €91 million, three million less than Los Blancos paid for Cristiano Ronaldo back in 2009.
.
"I would like to thank everyone at the Club, the Chairman, Board, staff, coaches and players - and most of all the fantastic fans who I hope will understand this amazing career opportunity," Bale said in a statement on the Spurs website.
.
"I am not sure there is ever a good time to leave a club where I felt settled and was playing the best football of my career to date. I know many players talk of their desire to join the club of their boyhood dreams, but I can honestly say, this is my dream come true.
.
"Tottenham will always be in my heart and I'm sure that this season will be a successful one for them. I am now looking forward to the next exciting chapter in my life, playing football for Real Madrid."
.
Bale was coveted by the Spanish giants following a series of amazing performances for Tottenham last season that landed him both the Premier League players and football writers' player of the year.
