KOCHA wa timu ya soka ya Tottenham Hotspurs, Redknap amesema, hawana mpango wa kumuuza nyota wao, Gareth Bale, na kama ikibidi kumuuza, timu itakayomnunua itabidi 'ivunje' benki kwa kutoa paundi milioni 80.

Kauli ya kocha huyo inamaanisha kwamba, Bale ana thamani sawa na Christian Ronaldo kwa kuwa Real Madrid walitoa kiasi kama hicho kumng'oa Man United.

The Tottenham boss said it would take an 'amazing figure' - equivalent to the fee Real Madrid paid Manchester United for Cristiano Ronaldo in 2009 - for the 21-year-old to leave White Hart Lane this summer.

The pair will clash at the Bernabeu on Tuesday night after both were passed fit for the first leg of Madrid and Tottenham's Champions League quarter-final.

Redknapp insisted Spurs must hold on to their star players if they are to remain a club challenging for European honours.

He said: 'Once you start selling one, it sends out the wrong signals. 'Manchester United sold Ronaldo but they got an offer of £80m so in the end it was good business. But we wouldn't want to sell a player like Gareth Bale at this time, when we're trying to build the club.

'It would have to be that type of figure. It would be an amazing figure if you ever sold him. But how do you replace a player like that? Once you start selling off your prized assets - I had it at West Ham.

How would you replace Gareth? Redknapp says he'd only accept an outrageous offer for his star man 'We let Rio Ferdinand and Frank Lampard go and then Joe Cole and the rest followed.

'If you are looking to build a club, you can't be selling Gareth as then Luka Modric wants to go and someone else wants to go. Then you end up where Tottenham were for four or five years, finishing half way up the table each season.'

Bale signed a four-and-a-half-year deal at Tottenham only 16 days ago, but has told Spanish newspaper AS he would consider playing abroad.

The Welshman said: 'You never know, but I'm not afraid to leave the country. 'If a great opportunity arises you need to seriously consider it. I left home at 15.
