In times of crisis, someone else's salary is more interesting than ever. How much do officials, actors, football players get. At least to the question: "How much?" the players managed to get an answer.
The highest paid Russian footballers in 2015 ranked according to annual income net of taxes, which includes salary and subscription bonus (divided by the number of years specified in the contract). The current excitement of the ruble exchange rate has not escaped the players either: some of them prefer to receive money in foreign currency - dollars or euros. As can be assumed, their income in rubles increased by at least 2.5 times over the past year.
However, over the past year the most expensive football clubs could not lure a single player, and for what reason - let the reader guess for himself.
10. Artem Dzyuba
The rating of Russian footballers with the highest salaries is opened by the striker of the St. Petersburg football club "Zenith". He receives a modest amount of 3.6 million euros per year. Not bad for twenty-eight.
9. Manuel Fernandes
Manuel once represented the Portuguese national team, but decided to move to Russia and became the midfielder of the Lokomotiv club in Moscow. This man, devoted to football to the core, once even played until the final whistle with a crack in the bone! He receives 3.8 million euros a year - for the sake of this, the Russian frosts can be tolerated.
8. Mubarak Bussufa
Despite the southern name and the appropriate appearance, this descendant of immigrants from Morocco was born in Amsterdam, so he is no stranger to fog and slush. Now he plays for the Moroccan national team and receives a salary in Moscow Lokomotiv - 3.9 million euros.
7. Axel Witsel
The central midfielder of Zenit St. Petersburg with an Afro hairstyle has a stern character: in 2009 Witsel was suspended for 8 games for injuring Polish player Marcin Vasilevsky. Now he is getting richer by 4 million euros annually.
6.Igor Denisov
When Igor was 16 years old, the coach told him that because of a too thick "butt" he would never be able to play football well. However, Igor became the Honored Master of Sports of Russia, the midfielder of Dynamo-Moscow and the player of the Russian national team. Despite his explosive nature and a tendency to beat TV cameras, the footballer continues to play and receives 4 million euros a year for this.
5. Vedran Chorluka
The Croatian native, hitting Lokomotiv Moscow, immediately scored a goal against Mordovia, then became the main central defender, the best player of the season according to the fans and in the end the team captain. Vedran earns 4.4 million euros per year.
4. Javi Garcia
This hot Spanish guy earns 4.5 million euros a year as a defensive midfielder for Zenit St. Petersburg.
3. Esekiel Garay
The young Argentine made a critical mistake in the first match for Zenit St. Petersburg, causing his team to lose 1: 0. There is a version that the mistake happened due to the football player's fatigue - just a couple of weeks ago he played in the World Cup final. Apparently, this is true, since Garay continues to play and is paid 5 million euros a year.
2. Alexander Kokorin
Alexander began his football career when he was still very young - at the age of nine he began to live in a boarding school at the Lokomotiv sports school (Moscow). Kokorin scored his first goal in a "serious" match (Russian championship) at the age of seventeen. Now Alexander is the vice-captain and striker of Dynamo Moscow with an annual salary of 5 million euros.
1. Givanildo Vieira de Sousa (Hulk)
Leading the list of the richest footballersplaying for Russia by a fairly large margin. He receives 7 million euros per year, ahead of second place by 2 million euros. In 2012, it was bought by Zenit St. Petersburg for 60 million euros. Interestingly, of this amount, the footballer himself, together with an agent, received 10 million euros, and most of all (40 million) went to his previous club, Porto. He won an Olympic silver medal in 2012 with his native Brazilian national team.
