Gareth Bale said that whatever transfer fee is paid or whatever money is involved, is between the buying and the selling club, and is nothing that the player gets involved in.

The 24-year-old footie ace said that all he wants to do is be successful with Real Madrid, and win trophies with them, FHM India magazine reported.

Bale, who was transferred to Real Madrid from Tottenham Hotspur for reportedly 85.3 million pounds, may have taken away the world's most expensive player tag from teammate Cristiano Ronaldo.
