Carlos Tevez has overtaken Messi and Ronaldo to become the highest paid football player in the world.
Tevez has bid goodbye for the second time to Boca Juniors – where he earns a paltry 2 million Euro per season – and has moved to Shanghai Shenhua.
Here he will reportedly rake in 38 million Euro a season.
In comparision to this mind boggling figure Ronaldo is struggling along with a modest 23.6 million Euro per season while Messi languishes with a mere 20 million Euro per season in his pockets.
The great call of China is going to lure more and more top flight football players away from their clubs and countries.
In added news about Tevez it turns out that he got married just three days ago – on the 27th of December.
So congratulations are in order.
And in even more added news about Tevez it turns out that his house in Buenos Aires got burgled while he was out getting married.
