Former Spurs striker Gareth Bale has claimed that he would not be bothered by the pressure of his massive price tag after being unveiled at the Santiago Bernabeu as a Real Madrid player in front of 20,000 fans.
According to Sport 24, Bale's prolonged transfer from Tottenham Hotspur was finally completed on Sunday evening with contrasting reports over whether he had become the most expensive player in the history of the game.
Bale said that he wanted to come to Madrid even if it was a penny, adding that no player actually knows their price tag because it is something between the two clubs.
He also said that he was in Madrid to play the best football he could and was going to give his 100 percent to try and help the team win trophies.
Bale further said that Cristiano Ronaldo was the better player at the club and he would try to learn from him.
