UEFA President Michel Platini commented on Gareth Bale’s transfer, expressing his opinion that the €100 million price tag seemed a bit expensive. Platini stated that if Real Madrid had bought three players for a total of nearly €100 million, the transfer would have attracted less attention. He emphasized his responsibility as UEFA president to ensure that Real Madrid had the financial resources for such a transfer. In response to criticism from Gerard Piqué, who suggested Real Madrid used credit for the transfer, Real’s president dismissed the claim, asserting that Bale was bought without relying on credit.
