The transfer fee which Real Madrid paid to Tottenham for the signing of Gareth Bale eclipsed €100 million, according to Football Leaks.

A document on Football Leaks' website, which has also revealed the full details of Anthony Martial's move from monaco to Man. United, claims that Bale's move to Madrid in 2013 cost the Spanish club a final total of €100,759,417 - with the fee made up of four instalments, plus a solidarity fee of €1,015,875.

Madrid had the option to pay €87,010,350 within 15 days of Bale's registration with them, but reports in Spain suggest that Madrid chose the option to settle the transfer with the instalments, with the first paid within ten days of the deal, and the final to be paid July 24, 2016.
