'Nothing Bale does is worth €100 million' - Real Madrid star savaged by Valdano

Gareth Bale has been slammed by former Real Madrid player and coach Jorge Valdano, with the Welshman told “nothing he does is worth €100 million”.

The Blancos invested a then record-breaking transfer fee in the Wales international forward back in 2013.

Bale is closing in on 200 appearances for the club and has helped them to La Liga, Copa del Rey and Club World Cup triumphs, along with three Champions League crowns.

He has, however, struggled for form and fitness at various stages throughout his time in Spain and his value has now been questioned by a man who has filled roles at Santiago Bernabeu ranging from goal-getting frontman to sporting director.
