Xavi unsure if Gareth Bale is worth record transfer fee
Barcelona ace Xavi has stoked the pre-season fire with Real Madrid by revealing he’s never even seen £86million target Gareth Bale play a full game.
The Tottenham winger is Madrid’s prime target this summer as they look to respond to Barca’s £49m capture of Neymar, but Xavi is unsure whether the Welshman is worth the reported world record fee.
‘I don’t know what Bale is worth. Honestly, I haven’t seen him play a full match,’ said Xavi.

The midfielder is also confident that his team-mate Cesc Fabregas would shun a move to Manchester United in favour of staying on at the Nou Camp.
‘I think he is relaxed. He has a contract here and the story is just based on assumptions,’ he added.
‘He is working with the group and is in perfect shape, I think he is very motivated. We will see what happens but I think he is relaxed and ready for the coming season with Barcelona.’
