Top 10 highest paid LaLiga stars revealed with Real Madrid dominating list and outcast Gareth Bale raking in fortune
GARETH BALE is set to quit Real Madrid in the summer – and possibly even retire.
The Welsh golf-enthusiast, 32, has won it all for Los Blancos since his 2013 transfer from Tottenham.
Bale has won four Champions League and two LaLiga crowns, scoring over 100 times in the process.
Despite that, his relationship with Real Madrid fans has soured in recent years due to his constant injuries and controversial “Wales. Golf. Real Madrid. In that order” banner stunt.
Not only that, Bale earns a whopping £550,000 A WEEK to mostly sit on the bench.. or physio’s table.
That staggering figure – which equates to just shy of £30million per year – is comfortably the highest in LaLiga, despite his lack of action in recent seasons.
