According to The Sun, Gareth Bale has told Spurs that he will stay at the White Hart Lane only if they finish in the top 4 this season.
The 23-year-old Welsh footballer, who is one of the game’s biggest properties, is linked to a possible move to Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
AVB said: “I have been assured Gareth will stay if we make it into the Champions League. That’s the information that I have from the club. The club are committed to keeping the best assets. That’s the only way we can ensure we are in the top four every year. Gareth is part of that project bearing in mind he has been amazing this season. Hopefully, we can develop him to a greater extent.”
A lot depends on Tottenham’s final five matches, in which they will attempt to finish above Chelsea and Arsenal to reach the Champions League for only the second time.
Villas-Boas added: “Gareth has had a major development this year. He has played in so many positions and has had such a big impact in those positions. We are happy that he has been nominated [for the PFA award] and we would be even happier if he was to win.
“Although the recognition is individual, the team have helped him to have this wonderful year and they would feel good for Gareth. They are an excellent group and everything they have spoken about Gareth is with respect.”
