Spanish football club Real Madrid completed the signing of Gareth Bale from English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur Sunday, to end weeks of speculation over one of the off-season's most anticipated transfer deals.
Bale joins the La Liga 
giants for six seasons, Real said on its website, and he will be 
unveiled at Real's Bernabeu Stadium Monday at 1 p.m. local time.
Neither club has 
disclosed the value of the deal but British media outlets Sky Sports and
 the BBC reported it was a world-record move worth $132 million that was
 greater than the $124 million fee Real Madrid produced to lure 
Cristiano Ronaldo away from Manchester United in 2009.
