Ursa Majoris Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 A-Rod is on roughly $25 million a year. For reasons that will become clear, that's 17 million British pounds. Enter Kaka, touted as the best soccer player on the planet, currently playing for AC Milan, who are apparently about to receive an offer of 110 million pounds ($161.7 million ) from Manchester City for the services of said Kaka. Mr Kaka will also be paid 500,000 pounds a week, or $735,000 a week, which comes to an annual salary of.....$38.22 million) A-Rod, yer a pauper.

isleseeya Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Good post Ursa ...I am a huge fan of AC Milan and Kaka ( he is a great player ) and will miss KaKa if he leaves however Milan already has at least 3 possibly 4 players lined up that they plan to obtain with money they get for transfer .... Appears everyone wins in this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Majoris Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 Looks like the deal is still on. There was a report I saw a little earlier said it was off but not now, it seems. Transfer fee is $151.5 million. Still And Milan will use the money to raid the moneybags EPL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackshi17 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 "The Abu Dhabi billionaire is prepared to make Kaka the world’s highest-paid player on £15million a year after tax, the equivalent of £500,000 a week gross." Their talking about 500.000 pounds per week for a 38 week season. Workes out to about the same as A-Rod "A-Rod is on roughly $25 million a year. For reasons that will become clear, that's 17 million British pounds." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ursa Majoris Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 (edited) "The Abu Dhabi billionaire is prepared to make Kaka the world’s highest-paid playeron £15million a year after tax, the equivalent of £500,000 a week gross." Their talking about 500.000 pounds per week for a 38 week season. Workes out to about the same as A-Rod "A-Rod is on roughly $25 million a year. For reasons that will become clear, that's 17 million British pounds." Soccer players are paid every week of the year, not just in the season, hence it's a crapload more than A-Rod. Also, the soccer off-season is virtually non-existent once tournaments and pre-season tours are factored in. In the UK, taxes are higher so that 15 million pounds after tax is about 26 million pounds before tax. That's as many pounds as A-Rod receives dollars.
