MADRID, , (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 31st Oct, 2016 ) - Gareth Bale declared the lure of "the biggest club in the world" behind his decision to sign a new bumper six-year deal with Real Madrid which makes him one of football's highest paid players.
Bale, who has won two Champions League titles in three seasons in Spain, is set to take home as much as #350,000 ($425,000) a week after tax, according to British media, though reported figures vary wildly.
However, Cristiano Ronaldo looks set to retain his status as top dog of the pay packet at the Bernabeu with the Portuguese expected to become the latest Madrid star to extend his deal in the coming weeks.
