Football player salaries
The footballer and the salaries of football should be a shade between the wages earned by the footballer and the added income from advertising revenue by example. Thus a player can easily increase its revenues if it is present on television screens through the commercials … (for an example David Beckham). In France, the player is paid the most Karim Benzema who earns a salary and bonus off outside advertising revenues 400 000 Gross. This gives an annual total of 4.8 million. It remains far from the big salaries that are often distributed in England, far beyond any other country on this point of view.
Salaries in League 2 vary between 2000 and 60 000, the average being around 12,000 Euros Gross. In National (3rd Division National) between 600 and 9 000 average 3000 euros. Remember that the National Championship is not only professional but semi-professional, so it is not uncommon for football players coming to training after a day’s work. At these salaries must be added the premium games, which fluctuate according to the classification of the team. Any bonus objectives that are assigned individually but can also be collective.
We must warn our readers by reporting those wages. In fact, you may think that these salaries are enormous and it would be nice to win it. But we remind you that a career as a footballer is short and it should manage its entire life! Finally if you look deeper into the wages of players, there is a very small minority of them wins an agent lot, others are paid adequately or comfortably pay, but will still work after their careers ended. For this reason we must stay grounded even in the face of such sums. Very few players come to live their whole life income of football. The studies are therefore essential, even if you are a gifted player, there is no guarantee that you will earn much money, nothing prevents injuries and a sudden stop to a career … So many factors come into play and lead us to encourage good football players to continue their studies in order to re-orient themselves to end their careers. After all football is a game.
