Gareth Bale will take a £27m pay cut to join Los Angeles FC after opting for an MLS switch .
The Welshman's troubled time at Real Madrid finally came to an end this summer when he left for nothing having previously been the world's most expensive player. Bale was often left on the bench as his relationship with the Los Blancos fans continued to deteriorate.
That said, Bale earned huge sums in the Spanish capital and, for a long time, has been the club's highest earner. Last term he was pocketing an annual salary of £28.8m. Now, in the bright lights of Hollywood, he will earn no more than £1.3m during his 12 month deal.
