Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas says he does not expect Gareth Bale to make a farewell appearance at White Hart Lane before completing his anticipated transfer to Real Madrid.<\/p>\n

Bale is reportedly close to joining Madrid for a world-record fee that could exceed \u00a385 million ($ 132 million, 99 million euros), with the Spanish giants having erected a stage at Estadio Bernabeu in apparent preparation for his presentation to the club’s fans.<\/p>\n

Due to injury, the 24-year-old Welsh forward has not played for Spurs since a friendly appearance in mid-July, but Villas-Boas does not think he will be present to say goodbye to the club’s supporters during Sunday’s home game with Swansea City.<\/p>\n

“We have no rules or obligation for players not selected to be on the bench or in the stadium, so I don’t expect Gareth to be seen at the club,” Villas-Boas said.<\/p>\n

Chelsea are thought to have hijacked Villas-Boas’s bid to sign Brazilian playmaker Willian from Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala, but Spurs are reportedly in talks with Roma over a move for Argentine attacking midfielder Erik Lamela.<\/p>\n
