Real Madrid's 'world-record' Bale offer gets 'mystery rival' counter-bid

Premier League club Tottenham Hotspurs are understood to be considering another offer for Welsh striker Gareth Bale, with the club angry at Spanish giants Real Madrid's arrogance.

According to Sky Sports, a mystery offer has been received by the club, which is being taken as a counter-bid.

The identity of the club behind the rival offer remains unclear but sources close to Manchester United and Chelsea, two of the domestic clubs with the financial capacity to consider such a bid, distanced themselves from the issue, the report said.
