"Football News" reported that the maximum salary of domestic players was reduced to 3 million yuan before tax, the maximum salary of foreign aid did not exceed 2 million euros before tax, and the total investment of Chinese Super League clubs was capped at 300 million yuan per year.
If the policy is finally implemented, the annual salary of domestic players after tax can be reduced to about 1.6-1.7 million. It is unknown how many naturalized players who have terminated their contracts with Guangzhou will be affected if they return to the Chinese Super League.
The FA has been imposing a salary cap for the past few years! In 2019, the official announcement was issued that the total amount of domestic player contracts in the Chinese Super League before tax each year should not exceed 10 million yuan, and the remuneration of foreign players should not exceed 3 million euros after tax!
In December 2020, the Football Association announced a new salary limit policy, the salary of domestic players does not exceed 5 million before tax, the average salary of local players in the first team does not exceed 3 million, U21 does not exceed 300,000 yuan before tax, foreign players do not exceed 3 million euros before tax, and the total amount of foreign aid does not exceed 10 million euros!
The Football Association is limiting salaries every year, but the problem of salary arrears of domestic players has not been solved, due to the impact of the epidemic, there is no ticket revenue for home and away games, high-level foreign aid has left, plus last year, the Football Association sacrificed the league for the national team training, the club living environment was squeezed, can the salary limit really help most domestic occupations get out of the predicament? Is it really a sustainable path to limit investment without considering the club's revenue?
