Gareth Bale's staggering net worth amid shock Cardiff City takeover bid

Gareth Bale's staggering net worth amid shock Cardiff City takeover bid The former Real Madrid superstar is part of a consortium who are interested in taking over the Bluebirds Gareth Bale (Image: AP Photo ) In accordance with the gallows' humour of football club ownership, there is a tongue-in-cheek line that is trotted out which goes something like this: 'How do you become a millionaire? Be a billionaire and then buy a football club.' In the case of Vincent Tan, that is less of a joke and more of a reality. The Cardiff City owner has pumped in somewhere north of £250m of his own vast personal wealth over the last decade and a half, but currently he finds himself the owner of a League One club, rather than one in the Premier League. ‌ We appear to have reached something of a fork in the road pertaining to Tan's ownership. Does he really have the energy and the drive to spearhead two more promotions? Because make no bones about it, Tan owns this club because he wants it to be in the Premier League. The last four or five seasons have seen the club go gradually down the wrong path, however. ‌ With mountains of debt and a civil case in France about to get under way relating to the tragic case of Emiliano Sala, it's a difficult spot Tan finds himself in. Join the Cardiff City breaking news and top stories WhatsApp community. Chairman Mehmet Dalman, however, last month said that while Tan has admitted "everything is for sale at the right price", the Bluebirds owner is fully committed to helping the club achieve promotion back to the Championship next season. He said: "He has injected a substantial amount of funds in the club. In his statement, it was clear to me he wants to bounce back. On the other hand, he has always said 'Everything is for sale at the right price - except for family.' Article continues below "As far as I am concerned, and I am having this discussion after a dialogue with him, I don't see anything else but his commitment to make sure we bounce back." We know now that Dalman's comments came when a consortium associated with Gareth Bale launched a bid to take over his hometown club. It is understood that the group made contact with Tan directly in May over taking a controlling share in the club, however the approach was rejected. ‌ It is not known whether Bale and the consortium will come back again, although with the story coming out a month after their first attempt, some believe that points towards them still being keen on taking hold of the League One club. Bale, who is understood to have been on a staggering £600,000 per week while he was at Real Madrid, has been estimated to have a net worth as high as £120m. Away from football, his various business ventures have seen him open two bars in his hometown and another in Bristol, as well as becoming a minority shareholder in Penderyn Distillery and an investor in Tiger Woods and McIlroy's TGL golf league. ‌ Malaysian business magnate Tan dwarfs that figure, of course. He has a net worth of approximately £580m, according to Forbes. However, that figure marks a significant drop from his previously listed £1.19bn in 2010—a decline of more than £600m over 14 years. I re-direct you to that gag at the top of the article. While Tan's wealth clears Bale's by some distance, it is understood that the former winger's contribution would be akin to the likes of Luka Modric at Swansea and Tom Brady at Birmingham City, where the bulk of the funds would come from elsewhere in the consortium. ‌ The real benefit to having Bale, of course, would be so that he can provide advice in terms of player recruitment and commercial development as well as the global reach he has, with the potential of pushing the club in front of eyeballs all over the world. What of the valuation of the club? It's almost impossible to place a value on it, should Tan want to sell up. Five years ago, the figure of £75m was touted, however that number is likely somewhere between £50m and £75m now, consistent with Championship clubs who are thought to value themselves at roughly two or three times their annual revenue – last year Cardiff turned over £23.2m. However, it's a case of the old adage – a club is worth however much a buyer is willing to pay. ‌ There is also the Bluebirds' relegation to consider. Cardiff's squad value is estimated to be around £41.8m, according to Transfermarkt, however players worth a combined £11.75m are either on loan or out of contract in June, reducing that number immediately to £30.05m. In addition, player values can drop by 20 to 40 percent after relegation. The substantial drop in TV revenue, decrease in player market values and potential loss of commercial and matchday income might see the club's valuation fall substantially – even by as much as 30 or 40 percent. There are positives. The new training ground under construction and plush new academy site in Llanrumney are, or would be, valuable assets. Article continues below It is also a capital city with vast potential and a huge, latent fan base. While that might be cliché to say, it doesn't make it any less true. The ceiling is high and it is commercially well run in comparison to other clubs of its size. Plus, there is a nucleus of young players whose values, the club hope, will only soar in years to come, pumping up the value within the club. One suspects new manager Brian Barry-Murphy might look to add value by targeting younger signings this summer and beyond, too. Sign up to our daily Cardiff City newsletter here.

Moises Caicedo says Chelsea will learn from Flamengo defeat

Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo insists lessons will be learnt from Friday's loss to Flamengo at the Club World Cup. The Blues capitulated in the second half in Philadelphia, surrendering a lead to lose 3-1 to the Brazilians and finish with 10 men. Most of the damage was done in a torrid six-minute spell in which they conceded twice and had Nicolas Jackson – just four minutes after coming off the bench – sent off for a reckless tackle. The result leaves them second in Group D with a win and a loss and potentially facing a more difficult route through the competition, with a possible clash against Bayern Munich in the last 16. 'It was difficult to take, but now we are focusing on the next game,' said Caicedo. 'For sure, we need to learn from this game. We need to react. 'I think the team played well but you need to be focused for 95 minutes in this game because, in one second, you can lose the game and that was what happened.' Flamengo looked the more energetic side but they lacked a cutting edge in the first half and it was Chelsea who carried the greater threat through some quick counter-attacks. Liam Delap, making his full debut in place of Jackson, forced a good save before Pedro Neto broke from halfway to open the scoring with a well-taken strike in the 14th minute. A feisty contest tilted in Flamengo's favour when Bruno Henrique equalised just after the hour and veteran Danilo followed up with a second three minutes later. The Premier League side were still reeling when Jackson was shown a straight red card for an aggressive studs-up challenge on Ayrton Lucas. It was his second sending off in four appearances for the club and ended their hopes of fighting back. Wallace Yan wrapped up the scoring seven minutes from time. Manager Enzo Maresca partly put the defeat – and a subdued performance from key playmaker Cole Palmer in a wider role – down to experimentation ahead of next season. The Italian said: 'It's not just about Cole. In the last two days we tried something completely different. 'For the first time we played in a different structure, just to prepare also for next season, to have more options. 'I think the plan was quite good for one hour until we conceded the goal, but I think at the end they deserved to win the game. 'Flamengo are a very good team with good players, with a good manager. They played very well.'
