Zapping Foot National Interview – The underside of amateur football, with Romain Molina
The salary is revealed. After a fall into hell, the Girondins de Bordeaux are trying this season to become National 2 champion and then move up to National next season. However, not everything went well this summer. Lacking personnel, the club was able to count on former football stars like Rio Mavuba and the striker of the moment, Andy Carroll. This Friday, Sud Ouest revealed the salary of the English striker and his teammates, and it has nothing to do with the sums that professional football players usually receive. Currently, the former Liverpool player earns 1,614 euros gross per month. On the other hand, next season, his salary should increase to 13,000 euros per month, regardless of the club's division. He can also receive bonuses for achieving specific performances (goals, assists). Furthermore, Andy Carroll would not be the only one to receive this sum; 16 players on the squad would also earn a similar amount. To reduce its payroll, Bordeaux has introduced a Salary cap of 5,000 euros gross per month, bringing it to 900,000 euros this season, compared to more than 20 times this amount the previous year. Only the player Travis Mutyaba would exceed this milestone with a salary of 5,250 euros, to compensate for his moving costs from Uganda.
