Gareth Bale was once the costliest player in the world. Even though he is no longer the player that he once was, the Welshman would not be cheap.

According to reports, his current market value is £63 million, but Real Madrid have the negotiating power to ask for significantly more, especially since the player is under contract until June 2021. Considering the various uncertainties associated with the player, it is too high a price to pay.

Another factor that would deter Manchester United is the salary that the Welshman will demand. He apparently earns around £350,000 per week at the Bernabeu right now.

Bale will demand a salary in the range of Alexis Sanchez if United were to acquire his services. Considering how the Chilean's wages have become a thorn in United's foot, the club should be wary of a similar situation arising in the near future.

Bale's transfer fee and estimated wages should be one of the reasons why United should not go for the Welshman this summer.
