A star who was paid 600 million won a month, a salary lower than the minimum hourly wage...But you're happy?



The diminished wallet of Andy Carroll (36, Girondins de Bordeaux) is attracting attention locally.

On the 5th (local time), the British daily `Daily Mail" introduced Carroll's current salary, who once played in the English Premier League (EPL), citing data from the French daily `L'Equipe. According to reports, Carroll is receiving 16.14 million euros (about 2.58 million won) before tax and 1,400 euros (about 2.24 million won) after tax in Bordeaux. The amount was less than 1801 euros (about 2.88 million won) per month, France's minimum working allowance, according to 'Daily Mail'.

Carroll's low salary represents the financial difficulties of the former Hwang Ui-jo team, which won the French league six times and was relegated to the National 2 (fourth division) after declaring bankruptcy last year.




Carroll received 80,000 pounds (about 150.7 million won) a week when he played for Newcastle, Liverpool and West Ham. In terms of salary, the salary now is about 270 times less than then.

Carol, who scored 54 goals in the EPL, introduced an interview with `L'Equipe' last summer.

Carol says "I live in a very nice little house. My salary is lower than the rent of the house. "I joined Bordeaux, not for the money. "




Carol is said to be in a heated relationship with a woman after divorcing her wife.

Carroll has now scored eight goals in the league. If you score two more goals in the remaining seven games, you can receive a 'double-digit score' bonus worth 2,000 euros (about 3.2 million won).
