Mills: We can't force Bale to stay

Tottenham director Sir Keith Mills has acknowledged the club would find it “very difficult” to keep Gareth Bale if he wants to move to Real Madrid, even though he signed a new four-year contract only last summer.

Real Madrid have confirmed they are in talks with the north London outfit over Bale and a potential world record transfer, with Spurs said to be demanding in excess of £80million.
