It will take a massive £65million bid to prise superstar Gareth Bale out of Tottenham.
And Bayern Munich have joined the quartet of European clubs ­chasing Bale’s signature.
The German ­champions, Barcelona and Real ­Madrid have formally ­declared their ­interest in the Welsh ­midfielder to the club. Paris St ­Germain are ­also monitoring the ­situation.
Spurs still believe Bale, 23, will stay with them for at least another season but accept a £65m bid could be enough to ­trigger a scramble for his ­signature.

Bale force: Sigurdsson claims winger can lead Spurs to Europe

 Gareth Bale can handle carrying Tottenham’s Champions League dreams on his shoulders, writes Matt Law.
That’s according to team-mate Gylfi Sigurdsson, who is desperate to see the Welshman return against Manchester City today.
Bale suffered an ankle injury against Basel a ­fortnight ago and will have a late fitness test today.
His involvement will be key as Spurs try to secure a top-four spot and Champions League place.
But Siggy is confident Bale, nominated for the PFA Player and Young Player of the Year awards, can cope with the pressure.
“Gareth deserves all of the credit he gets because he has been fantastic,” said Sigurdsson.
“He’s been scoring many goals this season. Everyone has been looking at him and comparing him with the great, great players. He is a fantastic player, that’s why there has been so much high praise.
“He has probably got used to all the hype. He just gets on with it, he performs every week. He is not bothered about being written and talked about.
“If anything, he is too childish.
“He’s a nice guy, a normal guy who is cracking jokes with everyone. Everyone likes him.”

 Real Madrid will make a huge summer bid to sign Bale and Sigurdsson believes securing Champions League qualification could help keep the Welshman at White Hart Lane.
“Obviously, a Champions League spot would be fantastic for the club and for Gareth,” he said. “If you’ve got top players, there is always going to be speculation about them leaving or staying.”
City’s trip to Spurs reunites Sigurdsson with his old ­Swansea team-mate Scott Sinclair, although the winger is again likely to be on the sidelines.
Sinclair has made only 13 appearances this season after ­signing for ­£8million and Sigurdsson feels sorry for the 24-year-old.
“It’s difficult when the ­champions come in for you – it was probably impossible for him to say no to them. So I feel a bit sorry for him about how little he’s played.
“Sometimes you just don’t get a chance at a big club like ­Manchester City. But I’m sure he’ll do well in the future.”
