FC Barcelona are allegedly ready to launch a offer for Tottenham Hotspurs winger Gareth Bale – but will only offer a deal worth a maximum £25 million.

Gareth Bale has been on Barca’s eye for some time and coach Pep Guardiola has made signing a new left-sided player a priority for 2012 year. Guardiola has sent scouts to observe Bale play for Spurs on more than one occasion and according to the sources, the Spaniard has made him his number one transfer target for next summer.

The Wales international, who is also supposed to be on Real Madrid’s radar, last month stated that he would be open to a move to Spain in the prospect, although he insisted he was happy at White Hart Lane as of now.

Tottenham Hotspurs manager Harry Redknapp considers only the likes of Barca, Real Madrid and Manchester City would be able to sign the unstoppable 22-year-old striker, but he is expected to try and prevent a move happening at the end of the season.

Spurs value Bale at around £40 million but that price tag does not seems to have deterred some of Europe’s leaders from showing interest, with Italian giants AC Milan and rivals Inter Milan also thought to be eager to sign on the former Southampton player, along with Chelsea FC.

But according to inside reports, Barcelona will offer just £25 million for Bale and are also preparing a cash-plus-player deal worth £20 million plus several of the club’s youngsters. The reigning European and Spanish champions will try to raise extra transfer funds by off-loading full-back Maxwell and midfielder Seydou Keita next season.
