Bubbly clutch

Hey guys, im buying a new car and when i drove it the clutch is fine but it feels like im pushing bubbles when i push in on it. Of course my immediate thought is there is air in the line and i need to bleed it. Thats quite possible but i was wondering, what other problem could this be? Alls i can say is it feels exactly like im pushing bubbles when i press the clutch in.

THnx

I think its just air bubbles in the system if its kinda spongy. I have a worn out release bearing and I can feel a slight rough grinding type feeling on the last inch of pedal travel. A worn out TOB will make noise with the clutch out and the pedal will feel rough. The disc/PP condition can be checked by just changing gears, rev matching and shifting fast.

No one else has any opinions on what it might be?
