Do you think any player in Bundesliga can challenge Bale's record transfer fee?

Recently, the world record transfer was broken by Gareth Bale for €100m (£85.3m). Maybe overpriced and ridiculous, it still is the new record transfer fee.

Bundesliga has many talented players, loads of which are in current World/Europe Top 2 teams Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. Bundesliga also have many amazing players like Stefan Kiessling and Julian Draxler. Now, my question is, do you think that any current Bundesliga player can break Bale’s new record? In more simple words, is any BuLi player worth more than Bale? (On the basis of form only, age factor can be neglected)

i personally think bale's price was way over rated!!!!! he scored 21 goals in the league last season but the year before that he only scored 9 goals and provided 10 assists in the league! Definitely not worth the same as ronaldo was when madrid bought him!

I feel that bale's actual market value to be somewhere between 35-50 million. Premier League players are generally over priced to begin with, while bundesliga players are way underpriced.

I think, Gotze, Reus, Muller (thomas), and Schweinsteiger are worth more or the same as bale. Schweinsteiger and Muller both should be worth more than bale because they have performed extremely well in the Champions League, World Cup and the Euro's...Bale has yet to prove him self.

Since age factor can be ignored, i think Ribery is worth around 65-75 million. Schweinsteiger between 55-60 million. Gotze without the buyout clause easily 40 million! Robben 40 million. Draxler 30 million. Gundogan 30-35 million.

Now most people will say oh but he plays for wales and will never qualify for the World Cup and the Euro's, dont forget maradonna single handledly led argentina to the world cup win!!!! Now that was a player worth 100 million.
