Joao Mario: The finances

joao-mario-inter_bov1y46wjmeg1e9zsq3rtfud1West Ham will pay Inter Milan midfielder Joao Mario his full wages totalling an eye-watering £2.2m for the remainder of the season which is equivalent to £137,500 per week for the remaining sixteen weeks left in this season.

On top of the £2.2m in wages, West Ham will pay up to £1.3m in a loan fee to the Italian parent club which will take their total outlay to £3.5m meaning the real cost will work out at £218,750 per week until mid-May.

The agents want their commission too adding another £350,000 to the final bill.

Inter Milan paid over £39m pounds for Mario from Sporting Lisbon but an option to buy has been set at just over £26m as part of the loan deal.

If Mario passes his medical and signs the contract in the next 48 hours the pressure will be on for him to repay David Moyes and David Sullivan’s £3.85m faith in him.

  1. but, but, but… the owners are cheap!!! 🙁

    *huge sarcasm in that post in case you’re unable to tell.

  2. Can’t believe he was on that much at Inter our wage Bill has def gone up a lot. Glad showing ambition there like Master said they haven’t been cheap w wages.
    Bit have to be careful about having 2-3 players earning so much & Ginge can’t been get a year on £35k supposedly will offer him 6mo extension hut w pay cut if true that’s insulting.

    But have to okay this players are top earners are on the bench.
    Hopefully Mario will hit the ground running. Some inter fans have said has issues with attitude & shows up when he wants but hoefully Moyes can sort him out.
    And with 5 assists in 10 apps most off bench not bad at all. Hope he can created chances here & we either play Sakho & Chic (Sakho says he is dit but club says not) or get another CF.
