According to media reports, the Chinese Football Association is ready to further reduce the annual salary of Chinese Super League players, which is expected to be the maximum salary of 3 million yuan before tax. Today, the Guangzhou team officially announced the termination of the contract with five naturalized players, and issued a new salary regulation for the Guangzhou team, and the annual salary of the outstanding main players of the first team is only 600,000 yuan before tax, and there are only three people. The main force is only 420,000 yuan, the main substitute is 300,000 yuan, the substitute is 144,000 yuan, and the annual salary of the first team is 8.27 million yuan. This number used to be just a player's annual salary.
All echelons of the Guangzhou team plus the women's football team, the annual salary expenditure is 14.556 million yuan. This salary level may be the annual salary of two players in the past Guangzhou team. If you add staff and other expenses, the operating expenses of the Guangzhou team throughout the year will be reduced in a straight line. The cost may only be the operating expense of a Chinese Second Division team. Some netizens also said that Guangzhou team used to bring the salary of the Chinese Super League team to the ceiling, and now it is necessary to bring the salary of the Chinese Super League to the floor.
As for how players on existing contracts should be enforced, there is no relevant information, but through this paper salary limit, I probably guess that such a salary rule may be enforced. Guangzhou itself is a big international player, and there are still many players with good ability in the team, and such a salary level may lead to a group of people leaving. Even if the existing contract continues to be executed, the possibility of international players choosing to renew their contracts when their contracts are about to expire is very low, and the loss of players cannot be avoided.
Guangzhou's salary restriction is likely to drive other Chinese Super League teams to follow suit, and now the Chinese Super League clubs are in arrears, and the Football Association is also pushing for another salary cut to reduce the operational pressure for the club. Moreover, now that football clubs around the world are taking salaries, there is no reason for the Chinese Super League not to cut salaries in the general environment.
The Guangzhou team's salary reduction method may not be appropriate. Salary cuts are something that Must Be Done in Chinese professional football now, but a one-size-fits-all salary cut is not too inappropriate. Some media people have said before that since the Football Association wants to limit the maximum salary, is it also necessary to limit the minimum salary. Although the Guangzhou team also set a minimum wage, the highest was only 60,000 yuan and the minimum was 36,000 yuan. If such a salary is long-lasting, will anyone really be willing to send their children to play football?
