Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas is confident he can keep Real Madrid and Manchester United's interest in his player Gareth Bale at bay by signing a new deal.
Villas Boas has confirmed that a new contract is being mulled over in talks between the player and the club, but nothing is certain yet. "Talks are ongoing, but that doesn't mean there is an agreement. At the moment we are confident [Bale will re-sign]. The player is under contract, a good contract at Tottenham, which was done last year. It's something we are speaking about but we don't have any further developments," the Spurs boss said.
Madrid have reportedly prepared an offer of £85 million for Bale, while Old Trafford in-charge David Moyes is keen to bring the Tottenham star to Manchester United. But Villas-Boas is confident that Bale will stay at White Hart Lane. "The player renewed his contract last year by the beginning of the season, if you remember, and it's something that is being dealt with by the chairman and the agent," the Spurs coach said.
When asked specifically about the clubs to have made bid for Bale, Villas-Boas chose to duck under. "I'm not going to make any comments on that one," he said.
Bale won both the PFA Players' Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year awards last season.
