Top 10 overpaid footballers in the world right now

#2 Gareth Bale (£350,000-per-week)

Gareth Bale's Real Madrid career has been marred by injuries

There's no doubt Gareth Bale has loads of talent to display on a football pitch. He also performs in a satisfactory manner, but the fee he commands isn't exactly the amount he deserves.

The Welshman's career at the Santiago Bernabeu has been constantly marred by injuries for the past two years. Remember, he was the one who was deemed to be the perfect competition for Neymar when they joined the Spanish clubs back in 2013.

While the Brazilian is becoming better and better as years pass by, Bale's battles with injuries have stunted his growth to a considerable level.

He spends most of the time on fringes due to injuries but earns just £15,000 less than Cristiano Ronaldo and a lot more than other influential figures like Marcelo, Luka Modric and Toni Kroos.

Of course, Bale can make a difference in any team he plays. But the lack of consistent presence on a pitch, let alone performing well regularly, is the reason why he seems to be overvalued at present.
