Real Madrid have ALOT of assets! Di Maria, Khedira, Ozil, Pepe, Kaka, Coentrao, Modric, to name the ones that seem available.
Was reading in the whispers Guardian about the problems of players plus cash. It all comes down to wages, most players not wanting to get paid less to be a makeweight in another players transfer, so its about matching their wage demands to balance out the outgoing wages. So lets for instance say we are offered Di Maria and Coentrao for Bale, their combined wages are going to have to come to the same amount as Bale's and I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen.
And despite what some fans think/want to happen, think most of this money will be reinvested into the stadium redevelopment which is underway. But its money that would be foregone if we can keep Bale, added to our other squad improvements to make another run for the champions league. As the potential earnings from that, plus the raising of profile would allow us to attract a better class of player, with the eventual money from Bale's sale..
