Real Madrid's central midfielder Luka Modric has said that Tottenham Hotspurs winger Gareth Bale will be perfect for Real as he will 'fit in seamlessly' with other players of the club.

Both Real and Manchester United have excpressed their interests in the Double Player of the Year and have proposed a world-record fee worth 85 million pound for the winger, the Sun reports.

However, the Croatian midfielder has pleaded with his old team-mate to join him at Santiago Bernabeu and claimed that Real will use Bale's talents perfectly.

Stating that Bale's shot, strength, speed and power will give the club another dimension, Modric praised Bale saying that he is an exceptional player and a club can only win if it consists of players such as Bale.
