Barcelona refuse to cough up big in their pursuit of Tottenham ace Gareth Bale.
The Mirror says Barcelona have made Bale their No.1 target next summer – but set a £25m price limit.
Coach Pep Guardiola thrashed out a hitlist with director Andoni Zubizarreta for new left-sided players, which also includes Valencia’s Spain international Jordi Alba and AC Milan’s Thiago Silva.
But Bale, 22, is the top priority and it is Guardiola who insisted the Spurs flier is the player he most wants.
Barcelona are also preparing a player plus cash deal with £20m and a range of younger players on offer to Spurs.
They are also trying to clear the decks by selling midfielder Seydou Keita and full-back Maxwell to raise extra cash.
