The agent of Gareth Bale has stated his move to Tottenham had little to do with money.
Bale returned to Spurs on loan this summer after Real Madrid allowed him to depart.
And according to his agent Jonathan Barnett, it was purely a footballing decision to come back to the Premier League.
During an interview with Sky Sports, Barnett said: "He loves it [at Tottenham]. The most important thing is he has got a smile back on his face and that he's enjoying life.
"It had to be somewhere he wanted to go. For him, it wasn't about money. If he was going to go somewhere it was going to be somewhere that he'd enjoy.
"He's had offers and it wasn't right for him. When Tottenham came knocking, it was right.
"He's had a hard time and now he's going to enjoy himself. He deserves to be happy. He's been probably one of Britain's best ambassadors.
"He wasn't going anywhere with Real Madrid. We'd got to an impasse and some silly things were happening on both sides."
