Gareth Bale will be a summer transfer target for Real Madrid, claims former president Ramon Calderon Ramón Calderón, who was president at the Bernabeu from 2006 to 2009, has now suggested that Real would be prepared to match whatever price tag Tottenham put on the player, as they did with the £80 million paid to Manchester United for Cristiano Ronaldo in 2009 to secure the services of the 23-year-old. I'm sure it will be a high amount of money because he is a fantastic player. A lot of clubs would like to have him. Barcelona have also been linked with a move for Bale. Meanwhile, Bale's team-mate Scott Parker believes the manner in which Tottenham claimed victory over West Ham United, with a sensational late Bale strike taking them to third in the table, with have had a damaging effect on Arsenal's confidence when the two sides meet at the weekend. "It's deflating," Parker told the Evenign Standard. I've been in that position when you're playing and you're watching the scores come in and you hear there's been a last-minute goal in a game that's important for your side. You're praying it's gone the way you wanted it to and then you hear it's a goal for the team you didn't want to score. So it is deflating for a player watching, and I'm sure the Arsenal players are like that.
