Gareth Bale will fly into London from Hong Kong on Sunday for decisive talks with Tottenham over his future after Andre Villas-Boas pointedly refused to deny a Real Madrid offer for the winger, The Sunday Telegraph reports.

Spanish giants Real are understood to have to lodged a formal bid of €60 million (£51.8 million) for the 24 year-old, with reports in Spain suggesting that the player is determined to move to the Bernabeu as a result of alleged "broken promises" by Spurs chairman Daniel Levy.

Bale sat out Tottenham’s 6-0 victory against South China in the Barclays Asia Trophy due to a muscle strain that also forced him to miss the midweek defeat against Sunderland in the same tournament.

When asked after the game to clarify the situation about the Wales international, and whether a bid had been received, Villas-Boas repeatedly failed to shed light on the player’s future. “I don’t want to comment on anything like that,” the Spurs manager said. “I cannot speak about anything.”

When asked whether Bale had asked to leave the club, Villa-Boas said: “I cannot speak about this.”
