million per year at new Chinese club
Super Eagles striker Obafemi Martins, who last week confirmed
his transfer from Seattle Sounders of U.S.A to Shanghai
Shenhua of China will reportedly earn $6.6 million per year after
tax at his new chinese club. Martins was on $3 million a year at
Major League Soccer side Seattle Sounders, but after he has
paid tax, he took home about $2 million.
And now according to Steven Goff of the Washington Post , the
Nigerian who scored 40 goals and 23 assists in three seasons
with the Sounders will earn a mouth-watering $6.6million
annually more than double of what he was earning while playing
in America.
Martins has already joined his new club, which will open the
Super League season March 5. He has played for Inter Milan
(Italy), Levante (Spain), Wolfsburg (Germany), Newcastle United,
Birmingham City (England) and Rubin Kazan (Russia).
