Real Madrid still owe Spurs money for Luka Modric so I think Spurs are reluctant to keep giving Real their players on IOUs.

Even though they are allegedly considering Ronaldo. I guess they can find it if they need to, but I personally can't believe there is a second bid - at that level there's only 4 or 5 clubs worldwide that could consider it. Suspect the Real deal is done.

Stupid greedy man if that's the case. Real Madrid chairman is already wobbling on the sums.

They haven't the cash to pay up front. They want to pay by installments over 6 years. Spurs want hard cash up front as Spurs are still owed millions from their last deal with Real.
Does wanting to go to Real Madrid instead of staying at Spurs make him money grabbing?

Is it true that Santander Bank finance both Real Madrid and Barcelona and then write off their debts at the end of the season.

Along with your other infamous claim a few years back, no it is not true. Why do you think Real Madrid sold their training ground and moved it out of town ?
I doubt Barca are the mystery bidder as they paid way over the odds for Naymar

He wouldn't spend £86 let alone £86m
Man Utd £60m plus the Mexican forward (name escapes me).

more likely to tell Madrid to get a move on and finish the deal. it possible there is another "bid", more lilky an enquiry, i dont think Bale would be interested in anything else.

That was what I was told in my local Santander branch but have never had anybody who would categorically know and could confirm or deny it so posted it again.

he's from a generation that saved. Saved BIG!
Made do and mend, times of austerity and all that. You can see what will happen though, Arse will pay well over the top for an average player on the last day of the window in a panic.

No, there's such a misunderstanding amongst English supporters about Real Madrid's financial arrangements.
What actually happens is that every season Real Madrid racks up an enormous loss. Whichever political party is in power at the time (currently it's the centre-right, though it was the centre-left from 2003-2011, and regardless of their regional affiliations) then immediately approves the confiscation of government funds from some-or-other political program - usually the health budget where it's not missed - and hey presto, Real Madrid can sign more galacticos.
Naturally this leads to the usual bellyaching from the majority of the population who either have no interest in Real Madrid or outright loathing towards it, but it was written into the Spanish constitution on the insistence of King Juan Carlos following Franco's death in 1975.
Fortunately for FC Barcelona, they can cover their enormous losses by one of their non-football activities, the lucrative pick-pocketing racket they run on Las Ramblas, however the provincial clubs are less fortunate than to have one of Europe's street crime capitals on their doorstep.
But Santander, no. They were actually supposed to cover the losses of Racing Santander by applying a little known 1% interest surcharge to any UK account holder of Cahoot (maybe this is what your local bank teller was referring to), but while the bank's board were looking the other way and distracted with all those acquisitions making them the biggest bank in Europe, the local team found itself strapped for cash and has inadvertently fallen into the third level of Spanish football. That's caused quite a stink, but the region of Cantabria doesn't have the same political influence as Madrid, Catalonia or the Basque Country.
Such is the level of corruption in Spain, the lazy stereotyping which is I think is the point of your post?
