athletes with fabulous salaries

It’s a decision that never ceases to move the world of football. Kylian Mbappé, the striker of Paris Saint-Germain would have negotiated an annual salary of 50 million euros, to which would be added a bonus of 100 million euros at the signing to be able to extend his three-year contract in the Parisian club . Figures that have ulcerated the president of the Spanish league Javier Tebas. “He believes that PSG has not respected the rule of financial fair play which prohibits spending more than what you earn when you are a club”, specifies Alexandre Hébert. In the process, he also announced to file a complaint.

On the court it’s a little different. “Tennis players do not negotiate salaries like football. They receive money based on their performance, this is called prize money“, explains the journalist. And there is a “ptotal arity” in this remuneration. Thus, the winner and the winner of Roland-Garros will win 2.2 million euros. A parity which had aroused criticism from Gilles Simon in 2012. More recently, the American-Japanese player Naomi Osaka and her male counterpart Stefanos Tsitsipas ranted about it on social media.
