Courted therefore, hoped for, at least by supporters of Olympique de Marseille, the question of his future in the club is widely asked.
That of its contractual wishes is beginning to accelerate and answers are filtering out. On, for example, the question of the salary to be offered to the world champion midfielder in 2018. We know more on this subject, since the buzz orchestrated by a Brazilian escort site, which publicly expressed its interest, promising to help the Corinthians team with which the platform is associated.
A salary of half a million euros per month or more mentioned
On this occasion, the figure of more or less 3 to 4 million reals per month was revealed, including the equivalent of a gross salary of half a million to 600,000 euros per month, the player's profit of 31 years. With Juventus Turin, his last employer until his forced departure, following a sanction for doping, he earned 8 million euros per year, but net before taxes.
