TOP STORY: Bale agent has English clubs on red alert
Gareth Bale's agent Jonathan Barnett has left English clubs dreaming of the prospect of landing the Wales international after telling ESPN FC that Real Madrid fans are "a disgrace" for jeering his client.
Bale was booed off at the Bernabeu on Saturday as Madridy lost to Barcelona for the second time in quick succession and Barnett's comments, in which he said Real fans "should be ashamed of themselves," will only intensify speculation about the winger's future.
Tottenham, Manchester United and Chelsea have all been linked with Bale in recent months, and some reports suggest he could yet decide to start afresh.
However, the Sun reports that he will not return to the Premier League because no club can afford his £650,000-a-week wages.

PAPER TALK (By Nick Judd)
Rodgers will have to break record to land Tielemans
New Leicester boss Brendan Rodgers will have to smash the club's transfer record to land loan star Youri Tielemans on a permanent deal from Monaco, the Telegraph reports.
Tielemans joined the Foxes in January in a deal that saw Adrien Silva move in the other direction and has set up goals for Demarai Gray and Jamie Vardy in the last two games.
Monaco are believed to have asked for £40 million for the Belgian, a fee that would shatter the £28m Leicester spent on striker Islam Slimani.
Rodgers, however, may feel he can get a better deal if he can tempt the French club into taking Silva on a permanent basis.
Juventus hold the Kai to signing Havertz?
Juventus have joined Arsenal in the race for in-form attacking midfielder Kai Havertz of Bayer Leverkusen, Calciomercato says.
Havertz has scored 12 goals this season, attracting the attention of Europe's biggest clubs. Arsenal have reportedly been watching the 19-year-old with a view to him replacing Mesut Ozil, but face competition from Juventus and Bayern Munich.
Havertz is in his third season in the Leverkusen first team and has excelled since his move from the centre of midfield to a more attacking role. He was recently described by national team coach Joachim Low as one of the "most talented players in Germany."
