Shanghai Shenhua set to sign Tevez

Although no financial details of the deal were released, reports have suggested that the Chinese club paid €84m (£71.6m) for Tevez, who returned to Argentina last year after spells in England and Italy.

That hefty price tag would make Tevez the world’s sixth most expensive player, behind Paul Pogba, Gareth Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo, Gonzalo Higuaín and Neymar.

Tevez is also in line to become the sport’s highest paid player with the striker reportedly earning around £615,000 per week on a two-year contract with Shanghai Shenhua.

Not according to The Guarduan. Though what you say makes a hell of a lot more sense.
 
All the gutter press are reporting fees of 70m and 600k+ a week. BBC, who are a bit more reliable but still aren't 100% concrete, are reporting 40m and 310k a week.

I'd guess that nobody has a clue, but "undisclosed fee" and no mention of salary doesn't attract the same amount of clicks.
 
An eye-watering amount of money. Wow.

That kinda money is simply too good to turn down.

I mean, I'd be on the next plane to Shanghai if I was offered 1% of what Tevez is getting.
 
Glad to see one of footballs biggest mercenaries is looking to fill his bank account further.
 
I'd say Rooney could demand a higher wage in China given his popularity in Asia. Rooney was one of the most, if not most marketable footballers on the planet for a good few years.
Can't see Coleen and the kids settling tbh which will probably put Rooney off, much to Paul Stretfords annoyance.
 
I just read on transfermarkt.com that the transfer is only 10m Euros, whereas for Oscar, his transfer to SIPG is worth 60m (pounds or Euros, I missed it.)

So, this makes me think if the 71.6m pounds include the salary and there are clauses that Shanghai will pay Boca whenever he scores a goal?
 
Anyone fancy pulling an Ali Dia with me?

I can be the agent and I'm sure one of you lads could pass as a former United youth player!
 
Their stadium is right next to my works headquarters. Might have to catch a game one evening.

In regards to the fees, there's for sure some skullduggery going on with the football clubs to help get around some law or regulation etc. Same reason the ultra-rich Chinese are buying premium property all over the world. It's all about actually being able to use the money that you have and leveraging it into other assets, rather than it being tied up here in China and Chinese currency. The amount of money floating around in certain hands in this city is truly something else. When you have one of the largest economies in the world, yet your average person is still on a low living wage, then you better believe there is an ungodly amount of money in certain hands.
