Bale inked a six-year deal worth £525,000 before tax when completing his switch from Tottenham three years ago. As for Ronaldo, his current contract sees him make a staggering gross weekly wage of £750,000. With the top rate of Spanish tax standing at 52%, Bale will reportedly receive in excess of this if he can agree a new contract, with Ronaldo also said to be looking to secure another pay increase. If both players are successful, their new deals would trump the £18m-a-year earned by Lionel Messi at Barcelona.
Any new contract for Bale at the Bernabéu is also expected to include a buy-out clause, which some reports claim could be as high as £420m.
For now though, nothing's done. And until it is done, get used to hearing story after story about him potentially heading to Manchester United.
