Nobody doubts Gareth Bale's potential in football, but injuries are truly hindering his development... that, added to the shocking sum of money he receives each season (17,5 million euros), it is highly logical for the Madrid sphere to have doubts about his continuity.
A report carried out by The Guardian revealed how much the Spanish club pay the winger for each match his plays. Taking into account his annual salary, Bale pockets over 300,000 euros a match, but as he has missed half of the games this season, the figure increases notably.
Therefore, each match the Welshman has featured in has cost the club 607,353 euros, what is the same, 4,865 euros a minute. The 'Cardiff Express' has missed out on 27 fixtures this season. meaning he has claimed 8 million euros without even having to play.
Real Madrid supporters are not amused by these numbers, and they believe all that money is being invested in a talented player who does not show it on the pitch because of the constant injuries. The fans would much rather see the money destined to sign a star such as Lewandowski, Hazard, Aguero or Griezmann.
