I think anyone seriously interested is turned off by 600 grand a week.
But that's what I mean - has anyone actually had the opportunity to offer him a contract yet for, say, £300k and has he turned it down? As far as I'm aware Bale hasn't said he wouldn't play for less than he currently gets, it's RM who are stopping anyone offering him... well, anything.
Bale hasn't said a single word on what wages he'd accept, the world has just assumed that he's going to demand the same or higher when, in reality, that might not be possible.
Either way, RM HAVE said they'll pay that so while he's on a guarantee he doesn't need to push for it. If RM accepted an offer for him then he would have to decide but until someone is allowed to make him an offer none of us have any idea what wages he would settle for.
