Gareth Bale could leave for free after Real Madrid rejected £89m from EPL club - Ex club president Ramon Calderon reveals

-
Wales and Real Madrid winger, Gareth Bale could be allowed to leave Real Madrid for free this summer after the club rejected a mammoth bid for him last summer, according to former Los Blancos president Ramon Calderon.
According to Calderon, a bid of £89million was made for the Wales international by an English club but turned down by Real Madrid.
Bale made only 20 appearances last season as tensions between him and coach Zinedine Zidane grew.
He refused to be included in Real Madrid’s squad for last month’s Champions League final tournament with the knowledge he would have traveled to be nothing more than a non-playing substitute.
Bale, who has two years left on his mouth-watering deal was non-challans last season as he was photographed pretending to sleep and using binoculars during matches.
On another occasion, he was filmed playing golf on the same day Madrid were defeated by Man City in the European Cup.
Gareth Bale could leave for free after Real Madrid rejected ?89m from EPL club - Ex club president Ramon Calderon reveals
“I know in the last day of the transfer window last year there was an offer from the Premier League,” Calderon revealed on Thursday’s talkSPORT Breakfast.
“They offered €100m, and Real Madrid turned down that offer because they thought Bale would be a player in their side.
“He came in 2013 with a contract for six years, and the strange thing is in 2016 – with Zidane at the helm – the club extended his contract until 2022.
“I don’t know why, but at the end of 2018 when he played well in the Champions League final [against Liverpool], Zidane told the president to keep Cristiano Ronaldo and sell Bale.
“The president did the opposite, and Zidane left, and from that moment there has been a disagreement between Zidane and the player.
“And in some way I think fans are angry and annoyed because they’ve seen Bale not interested in some matches, and now they have to find a solution.”

Pushed to name the Premier League club who tried to sign Bale, Calderon added: “I’m not allowed to say the name – though I know the name of the club – and I think at the end there was a disagreement as Real Madrid decided not to sell the player, because they thought he was a player who could be used and be in the starting line-up.
“But I think the player neither wants to leave nor to reduce his salary; it is true his salary is very high, but in 2016 the club decided to increase his salary.
“It is difficult for any club to pay that salary, especially knowing the situation of football nowadays.”

The fee issue may be solved, according to Calderon, if Real Madrid let Bale leave for free before October’s transfer deadline.
“I think his agent was here yesterday trying to get a deal,” he finished, “but I don’t see any club paying that salary.
“And, on top of that, if Real Madrid want to get a transfer fee… that’s impossible.
“I think Real Madrid would now be willing to let him go without any transfer fee – that would be the solution – but in that case I don’t see any club paying €40m-a-year for a player who is 31 and who hasn’t been playing regularly in the last two years.”

Legendary Nigerian guitarist, Berkley Ike Jones of the defunct BLO is dead. Berkeley Ike Jones died weeks to his 72nd birthday. He died last night, June 28, in Asaba where he went for a job. Ike first appeared on the Nigerian music scene in the mid-1960s, as the drummer in the Port Harcourt-based teen pop group The Figures. In 1970, at the end of the Nigerian civil war, he signed on as lead guitarist in the rock n’ soul band The Funkees, where his adventurous guitar lines got him noticed by talent scouts who instantly whisked him off to Lagos and installed him in the high profile rock group The Clusters. The Clusters soon morphed into the Afro Collection under the leadership of Tee Mac Iseli, and then into SALT under Ginger Baker. Eventually the group splintered, giving birth to Nigeria’s first afro-rock power trio BLO–Berkley Ike Jones, Laolu Akins, and Mike Gbenga Odumosu. BLO was the rave in the 70s and early 80s. The group was one of Nigeria’s most res...

The U.K. government said Friday, Nov 27, that it plans to create a Digital Markets Unit (DMU) to enforce "a new code to govern the behavior of platforms that currently dominate the market, such as Google and Facebook."   The aim is to protect smaller competitors and give consumers more control over personal data.   Under the new code, some of the world’s biggest tech companies may have to be more transparent about the services they provide and how they use consumers’ data. They may also be forced to give consumers a choice over whether to receive personalized advertising, and they won’t be able to place restrictions on customers that make it difficult for them to use rival platforms.    The DMU, which will be part of the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), will start work in April 2021.   The government said the DMU may be given the power to suspend, block and reverse decisions made by large tech companies. The DMU could a...
