#3 Graziano Pelle (Shandong Luneng): £290,000 a week
At No.3 we have a prospective teammate of Fellaini, Graziano Pelle. After a brief stint on the South Coast in England with Southampton, the Italian decided to see out the rest of his career in the rich confines of the CSL.
In his time at Shandong Luneng, Pelle has scored 28 times and has been a useful addition to his club. He is being paid close to £300,000 a week and one of the top earners in the league.
The CSL has more or less twisted the transfer market in such a way that players have more bargaining power nowadays. If clubs don’t pay heed to their demands, they always have the option of moving eastwards.
The CSL has incurred the wrath of many European football fans over the past few years and one can easily add Pelle’s name to the list of the causes for the growing dissatisfaction.
