The La Liga giants know capturing Bale, and then wrapping up a £40m deal for Liverpool star Suarez, will allow them to cash in on Ronaldo who is stalling on signing a new deal at the Bernabeu.
Starsport understands Liverpool expect to receive a formal offer from Madrid next week, and have already started planning for life without the striker by offering £15m for Atletico Madrid’s Diego Costa.
Bale did not train with Tottenham yesterday and stayed behind as the team travelled for today’s friendly with Monaco. And Bale - who has made it clear he has no intention of playing for Spurs again - expects chairman Daniel Levy to conclude a deal with the Bernabeu giants’ president after the weekend.
The north Londoners want £85m plus hotshot young striker Alvaro Morata - who is valued at around £10m.
Madrid had resisted the prospect of letting Morata, 20, go, but are understood to be ready to sanction a deal as long as a buy-back clause is inserted. Bale could even fly to Madrid this weekend to meet Madrid president Florentino Perez, who has stayed in Spain after his team travelled to the US for a tour.
Starsport revealed yesterday the Welsh wonder did not feature a list of players for the forthcoming season on a wall of the club’s training ground in Enfield, Essex.
Two days of talks last week failed to persuade Bale to stay and Levy and boss Andre Villas-Boas have reluctantly accepted they will have to let him leave.
Meanwhile, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger yesterday blasted the proposed fee for Bale, saying it undermined the Financial Fair Play regulations. “It makes a joke of it,” he said.
“It’s quite amazing that in the year where the Financial Fair Play comes in, the football world has gone completely crazy.
“You wonder what kind of impact and effect it has on the football world. It looks like it has made everybody worse than before.”
