Gonzalo Higuain Has The Opportunity To Become The Highest Paid Player Of All Time

Looking at these statistics will more or less ruin your day.

It is being reported that a Chinese Club have offered Gonzalo Higuain a yearly wage packet of 50 million euros.

This outrageous sum would make Higuain the best paid footballer of all time, overtaking David Beckham who earned 30 million euros at LA Galaxy.

Tancredi broke the news on Twitter earlier today:

To put this potential deal into perspective, Higuain would earn €50m per year, €4.1m per month, €650k per week, €92k per day€3.8k per hour and €63 per minute.

Higuain has been linked with a move to a number of top European clubs in recent months, including Arsenal, Liverpool and West Ham but surely this deal would be hard to turn down?

Twitter reacted in style:

50 MILLION EUROS A YEAR.

Higuain to China? Let us know your thoughts about this ridiculous offer.
