pocketed a lump sum of £2million when the Welsh wizard completed his
£86million move to Real Madrid.

The
24-year-old midfielder owns the remaining 60%, ensuring he also
profited handsomely from become the most expensive footballer in the
world.

A source said: “Gareth will never forget where he came from –
he is loyal family boy. His family are his priority and since turning
professional, has always ensured they are provided for.
“Gareth is
incredibly grateful for all the sacrifices his parents made for him as a
youngster, and wanted to thank them as best he could.
“Debbie was
especially anxious about his move to Spain so it was imperative that
she and Frank were looked after as part of the deal.
"They are now financially secure for life which is a huge relief for Gareth.”
In July, his parents attended a meeting with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy, alongside their son and his representatives.
It is likely financial terms of the deal were finalised there.
Debbie,
who works for a solicitor’s firm, and retired school caretaker Frank
still live in their three-bed semi in Whitchurch, Cardiff, near Gareth’s
school and sweetheart Emma Rhys-Jones, 23, who is mother of his
11-month-old baby daughter, Alba Violet.

new home stadium, the Bernabeu, on Monday having signed the
record-breaking six-year deal.
Donning his new number 11 shirt,
the star – who trained with his international teammates yesterday –
spoke to the Real fans in Spanish.

Upson was the landlady of Darwin Lodge where Gareth shared a room with
fellow rising star Theo Walcott when they played for Southampton as
teenagers.
She said: “He has a lot to thank them for. They taught
him good values and were not pushy. They just wanted the best for their
son.”
