Gareth Bale, Ibrahima Konate and Jack Grealish’s agent expecting ‘record-breaking’ summer transfers

Gareth Bale's agent, Jonathan Barnett, is predicting "three or four very big deals" for his clients during the summer transfer window.

Barnett's ICM/Stellar group boast a number of huge talent on their books, including Aston Villa's Jack Grealish, RB Leipzig's Ibrahima Konate - who has been linked to Liverpool - and the highly rated Eduardo Camavinga of Rennes.

Bale’s own future remains in doubt with his loan spell at Tottenham currently set to expire at the end of the season, when the Welshman will return to Real Madrid before deciding his next move.

Barnett told The Athletic: "I’m expecting three or four very big deals of my own that will break a lot of records. Hopefully, they’ll come about.

"For the smaller clubs, I think there won’t be as many transfers.

"We have some very good players. We have probably the best young player in the world in Camavinga. We’ve got Grealish. We’ve got Konate at Leipzig.

"But then I’ve got over 100 players.’
