Is Real Madrid obviously more attractive to Bale though?
Spurs allows him to stay relatively close to home, in a culture he's used to and with a team where he is the star, and one that he has helped lead to the brink of a breakthrough into the upper tier of European soccer.
Real Madrid means a new culture, both at the club and in the country, a club full of stars and a club with a history of taking in big stars and then sitting them on the bench or otherwise screwing with them.
I'm not sure that's much more attractive.
With Fabregas he's choosing between the appeal of a return to his old club, which could be a draw or could be a 'already done that'. At either one he'd step in and be a star, and United is certainly the more attractive choice on the field.
