Barcelona coy over Gareth Bale interest

Barcelona refuse to rule out a move for Tottenham's Gareth Bale but will not pay over the odds for the winger.

Barcelona president Sandro Rosell has refused to rule out interest in Tottenham Hotspur winger Gareth Bale, but insists that he would not pay £33m for him.

The Wales international has been linked with a switch to the Nou Camp, with reports suggesting that the Primera Liga champions are willing to pay up to £35m for the winger.

"I do not know if Bale interests us," Rosell told Al Jazeera. "If I did, I would not say, because his price would go up. [Tottenham] would not ask for £33m, but £42m.

"In any case, even if we wanted him, we would never pay £33m for him."

The 22-year-old was linked to a move to Italian outfit Inter Milan during the summer.
