'I couldn't care less!' - Gareth Bale not bothered by Manchester United star Paul Pogba claiming world's most expensive player tag

Gareth Bale says he is not bothered by losing the tag of the world's most expensive player to Paul Pogba.

Bale's three-year reign as the most expensive player in football history ended when Pogba joined Manchester United from Juventus for £89million last month.

That fee eclipsed the £85.3million Real Madrid paid Tottenham to sign Wales forward Bale in the summer of 2013.

But Bale said: "I'm not fussed and I couldn't care less.

"None of the players have pulled my leg on it."

Bale was speaking at a UEFA Champions League gala dinner to launch the 'Road to Cardiff' with the 2017 final being held in his home city at what was known as the Millennium Stadium.
