Spurs braced for Bale bid as Barcelona eye £35m move for Wales wizard
A move to the Catalan giants however, would signal a difficult period for north London after rivals Arsenal reluctantly sold captain Cesc Fabregas in the summer.
The 22-year-old has attracted interest from Real Madrid and Inter Milan in the past, but could find a move to the European champions difficult to resist.
Although Bale operates the left wing at Tottenham, Guardiola sees the Wales star as an attacking left-back and the ideal replacement for Maxwell, Eric Abidal and Adriano, who are all seen as weak links.
The Tottenham man's pace and ability to deliver to the killer ball from out wide would also mirror that of Dani Alves on the right.
According to reports Barcelona are considering selling David Villa following an alleged bust-up with Lionel Messi.
And Guardiola could use the cash from the sale of the Spain hitman, who on Thursday was linked with a move to Liverpool, to land Bale.
The Spanish giants sent chief scout Albert Valentine to see the Wales international star in Tottenham's 3-1 win at Fulham on Sunday.
