Bale's laughable LA salary and Salah's Liverpool millions revealed

Mohamed Salah's contract renewal with Liverpool is just a small sample of how football is managed financially at the moment, showing the Egyptian that staying at a high level and being placed among the elite players can bring certain economic benefits that few can enjoy, with a gulf of difference between the best in the world, those who are about to be and those who are no longer, as happened with former Real Madrid player Gareth Bale.

The former Real Madrid player who continued his career in the MLS just a few years ago was the perfect example of an elite footballer who enjoyed all those economic and sporting privileges that Salah has today, while also being the negative side of how a successful career can be extinguished overnight and end his playing days in oblivion with minimal earnings, there being today a couple of zeros in the bank accounts that differentiate the Egyptian's earnings to those of the Welshman.

Although Bale was a player of great attacking ability, the constant injuries he suffered during matches and training proved to be his undoing and his departure from Real Madrid not so long ago, going from earning almost $32 million dollars gross to just $1.6 million dollars, a figure that was only 5% of what he earned in the white shirt in Spain.

Despite being surrounded by injuries and few playing minutes, Bale in Spain received better earnings than Salah at Liverpool today, but that constancy of the Egyptian led him over the years to be far above the Welshman economically and footballing, perhaps the only drawback that Mo' finds in his career is the fact that he does not have more Champions League in his trophy cabinet than Bale.

<strong>Salah earned much more than Bale</strong>

The Welsh legend does retire as his country's most successful footballer and one of Real Madrid's best players in recent years, even if his physical conditions limited his football and made him have a bitter farewell to the MLS and a lousy World Cup in Qatar, This attacker proved to be at the height of men like Cristiano Ronaldo or Mohamed Salah himself, leaving everyone with the thorn in their side to see a duel between these two players in a match of utmost importance as it was in the final of the 2018 Champions League.
