Gareth Bale is close to signing close to completing a multi-million pound deal less than three weeks after joining Madrid.
Adidas are hopeful the Madrid star will agree a long-term extension to his current boot deal and personal sponsorship.
Bale’s current contract is at its final year and the sports kits giants were not sure whether to make him their main guy while he was not featuring in the Champions League or at the World Cup with Wales.
Adidas are now ready to pay whatever it takes to keep Bale out of the clutches of Nike, who already have Cristiano Ronaldo on their books.
An adidas source said: ‘We are confident that we can keep Gareth, who has always been very loyal to the brand. But the deal has to be right for both of us. It helps that we have the experience of handling David Beckham when he was at Real Madrid.’
