He is now playing for Saudi Arabia side Al Hilal after leaving Paris Saint-Germain for them in a £77.6m move last summer.
That switch made him one of the wealthiest players in the world after he penned a deal worth more than £2.5m-a-week - SIX TIMES what he earned at PSG.
But the former Barcelona forward only made five appearances before he ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament while on international duty in October.
That ruled him out for the remainder of the season and has allowed him plenty of free time for his other interests.

PGA Tour star they competed in the BMW PGA Championship Pro-Am at Wentworth last year.
The ex-Wales captain and five-time Champions League winner with Real Madrid was even tipped to hit a handicap of zero with a few more years' experience by the golfing icon.
However, Bale still insisted earlier this year that he feels a long way off the pro standard despite earning plenty of praise.
The ex-Tottenham attacker explained: “There’s a big difference, don’t get me wrong. But they really just think their way around the course, they don’t make those silly mistakes, when they hit a bad shot, they hit a bad shot into the correct spot, they just get up and down from everywhere.

“The focus they have, you can see it in their eyes, they’re just so focused with every shot.
“I feel like, for example, with me, an amateur, I can easily hit a couple of good shots and think I’m better than I am, and then come crumbling back down to earth, and then I have to grind again.”
Bale added: “So, just seeing, I guess, the practice they put in, obviously they put themselves in position where they’re gonna keep playing while not making too many mistakes.
“Something now that I would love to do more that I have the time is to practice and try and get better and try to achieve a better handicap.”
