But do they really need wages that high? We saw from CR7 income list that 90% of his incomes are from endorsment deals and that his salary which is super high for football standards is nothing in comparison to his other incomes.
I imagine its the same for Messi and Neymar, not sure about Suarez tough ....
In NBA star players take a pay cut (not Kobe
) so the team can bring in quality players for them to play with.
If Messi is going to get 30 + million a year what will that do to team chemistry? New players will look at that see the breadcrumbs they are getting and tell themselves "well for the money he is being payed he can run a little bit more and play defense so i dont have to do that for him while getting 4 milion a year".
Its a slippery slope.
