JAKARTA - Gareth Bale is one of the biggest names in Major League Soccer (MLS) after moving from Real Madrid to Los Angeles Football Club.
Despite only appearing in one game so far, the Welshman is already a huge draw for those in Los Angeles and MLS.
However, in a league that uses salary caps and has various financial rules, many have wondered how much the former Los Blancos and Tottenham star earns.
Although he has five Champions League titles and earned a big salary while in Spain, that will not be the case in the United States.
The Los Angeles Times reports that Bale will only receive $1.6 million this season.
That is, it is very low, especially since LAFC does not have to pay a transfer fee after his contract with Real Madrid expires.
If we break down in more detail. Los Angeles will only pay Bale about 133,000 US dollars (Rp 1.99 billion) per month.
Meanwhile, it's not about salary. Given that Los Angeles signed Bale without using one of the Designated Player spots, this means they could still get another big name to round out the squad.
Carlos Vela is the only player currently under contract as the Designated Player.
As a result, TUDN's Michele Gianonne reports LAFC are considering signing another striker, which would give them a pretty scary attacking trio.
