The Real Madrid wage bill has been leaked and it’s astronomical

Vast sums of money on offer here.

We know professional footballers around the world make a nice living from the Beautiful Game, but this alleged leaked wage bill from Real Madrid reveals the HUGE sums of money used to pay top players today. If the list is correct, Cristiano Ronaldo, of course leads the lot, earning a whopping €17m a year, followed by Gareth Bale on €11m.

Spare a thought for poor Pacheco having to slum it. The poor lad has to try get by on a mere €15k a week. Hope someone gives him a lift into training, the poor mite. The source for the supposed wage leak is credited to a Spanish news source, MundoDeportivo.
