“It’s an amazing league, they play great football and I have always loved the way Real Madrid to this. I have been following them all my life, I have lived for football, especially Spanish football. Yeah I think I had the shirt when I was nine or ten years old, and I followed them til now, and now its absolutely dream come through to be here and I can't wait to put on the white strips,” Bale added.
After the Spanish Club paid Spurs a world record 100m Euros for the 24 year. Bale has signed a 6 year deal with Madrid and is expected to be presented to the media and the fans on Monday.
