#4 Gareth Bale (Real Madrid)
Following Pique upwards on the ladder is Real Madrid's talismanic forward Gareth Bale. The Welshman has stayed out of the game for a large part of the season due to injuries.
But, the time he has spent on the fringes doesn't seem to have harmed his monetary gains; he has accumulated €44 million throughout the campaign.
Real Madrid fell from their pedestal as the best club in the world this season, and Bale's absence is one of the crucial reasons behind it. With meagre contributions to a lacklustre season, the Welshman will be eager to help as much as he can in Real Madrid's bid to win a third successive Champions League title.
