We often call footballers overpaid bunch of
divas playing the game, they love the most.
But when we talk about why the footballers are
getting paid so much than we have to Consider
the fact that it depends on the demand and
supply in the european football industry. Its a
multibillion industry which is growing at a very
fast rate. Cristiano Ronaldo is by far the
highest paid played in the world and he
doubles his yearly income with many high
profile endorsement deals. But how much the
footballers have to pay the tax ? Well for that
we have to look different league and we will
take the example of £200,000-a-week salary in
every league to see in which league what tax
footballers are paying.
