John Hartson believes Tottenham star Gareth Bale would take a move to Real Madrid in his stride, if it were to happen.
.
Wales international Bale, 24, has indicated he wants to speak to the Spanish giants.
.
National assistant manager Hartson told BBC Wales the star winger has the temperament to handle the pressure.
.
"It wouldn't be an issue for Gareth. He's very level headed, his feet are firmly on the ground," he said.
.
"I get to see him close up, obviously, working with him with the Welsh national team. He works like all the other players, he gets his head down.
.
"If he was to go - I'm not saying that he's going to go - I'm sure he will deal with everything.
.
"He's got a great family. He doesn't come with a big entourage.
.
"He's got his agent, he's got his advisers and he's a really down- to-earth, level-headed lad.
.
Whatever Gareth does, I'm sure he would have thought long and hard about it."
.
Cardiff-born Bale joined Tottenham from Southampton in May 2007 and signed a new four-year contract in June 2012.
.
He went on to enjoy his most successful season for the club in 2012-13, scoring 26 goals and being named Premier League player of the year and young player of the year.
.
Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas has insisted Bale is not for sale and says talks about a new deal are ongoing.
.
Spanish daily newspaper Marca claims Tottenham are demanding a fee of 145m euros (£125m).
.
Former Spurs manager David Pleat, who told BBC Sport he felt Bale was "too young to move", thinks it will take £100m to prise the player from White Hart Lane.
