Nobody can pay Bale the salary he has in Madrid

The rumors of the interest of Tottenham de Mourinho, those who speak of a return to their origins of Bale, they are getting stronger. The situation requires a survey of the most direct environment of the forward. “How could Tottenham afford Bale?” They tell us. This source so close to the player extends the reasoning to the rest of the entities in Europe and, although Bale still hopes that the MLS come to your rescue, the reality is that nobody can take over The player's salary, which in the last two years of his contract clearly exceeds 15 million euros net. Madrid is worth 30 million (gross) a year.

Bale's situation has become entrenched. “Nothing has changed,” this authoritative source tells us. “Bale is happy and well at Madrid.” Ignore, therefore, the message sent by Zidane, who stopped summoning the player in the last games of the League championship, and go to sea for what happened in the second leg of the tie against City, in which it was the Bale himself the one who asked not to travel.

Mourinho's desire to train Bale, this newspaper has learned, is real. But it will not be possible. Real Madrid had the best opportunity to sell Bale in the summer of 2017, when Mourinho himself was coaching United and asked for his hiring publicly. “If you don't speak, I can't buy you,” Mou a Bale himself whispered in a tunnel of changing rooms. At the time, the market was clearly inflated … That was the summer that Mbappé was also for sale. But the 18-year-old Frenchman was asking for 12 million euros net of salary, which (for a player then of his youth and without merits) would have broken the salary scale of the white entity.

It was already last summer when Madrid's second chance to get rid of Bale came. In this case, without the transfer leaving a single euro in the coffers of the entity. In the past bull it has been shown that it was a good operation. Madrid had left to pay the footballer 90 million euros (in three years) and that is exactly what they would have saved. Finally, the Jiangsu Suning (who was going to make Bale the highest paid footballer in the world) backed down when Madrid asked for money for the operation.

To this day, with Bale counted at 31 and with his injury history (he has only been able to play 40% of the minutes since he arrived at Madrid in the summer of 2013 for 101 million euros), for the white entity he could be a chimera to find a destination for the player. You do not lose the perspective, even, that you have to pay part of the salary to save most of it. Zidane definitely does not count on him.
