As reported by The Sun, according to the MPs, the Spanish giants used money from a bank that was rescued using a Bale-out public money - which they are claiming constitutes using indirect state aid. Real Madrid CF v Rayo Vallecano - La Liga Bale's move to the Bernabeu was the big move of 2013, with Spurs receiving a world-record £86m fee for the winger. Details are still emerging of the MPs claim, but there is no suggestion that Bale has acted inappropriately.
