Welshman Gareth Bale will earn £310,000 a week when he completes a move to Real Madrid. Full story: Sunday Mirror
It 164k a week is what I am hearing. 10 million euros a year divided into 52 (weeks in a year), is 192k euros, at current exchange rate that is 164k a week. I doubt he is getting 310k a week, thats more than Ronaldo and Messi and would make him the highest paid player in Europe surely...... 164k a week is still double the salary he is getting at Spurs.
That is much lower than we all thought. How can he survive on such low wages? Real Madrid and barcelona have huge incomprehensible debts. Yet they are spending money as if it is going out of fashion and as if it is not actually theirs...but wait..it is actually from city taxes paid by residents of Madrid!
They get their money from the spanish goverment, that's why they broke the world record when they got Ronaldo and they're doing the same with Bale.
He is only 24 remember, wait till he has been there for 2 years. When he is 26 he will get a bumper new contract for over 200k a week for sure, if he plays well.
