In recent years, although the investment of the Chinese Super League clubs has been reduced significantly, but compared with some foreign leagues, the income level of the Chinese Super League is still not low, so it can still attract a lot of foreign aid to the gold. Accept Danish media BOLD in an interview, Changchun Yatai foreign aid and Danish defender Okore bluntly said that his main reason for playing in China is to earn money, the wages here are much higher than the standard of playing in Europe.
"In China, I was paid a very good salary." Okore said:- "It's a complete contrast to the salary I got before playing soccer. Of course, other aspects are also attractive. As far as that is concerned, I am very happy with my life now. I would say that I make more money playing in China than in Europe, especially when I was Danish and had to pay quite a high income tax, and my income in China is much better than it was then."
So how much money can a foreigner make in China? Okore says: "I place a lot of importance on the match experience, but money is also important. If you can make more money while having fun playing soccer, why not? Wages in China are attractive to many players. Of course, wages vary from person to person. The exact difference lies in what level of play you've played before. In my case, the wages I get in China are easily 5-10 or even 20 times higher than in the past. I can't continue to disclose these things."
At 31 years old, Okore can be considered a soccer veteran. Before he came to China to play soccer, he had been traveling in Denmark and England for many years. It does seem that he is earning far more at Changchun Yatai than he did back then. If, as Okore said, the wages for a European player playing in the Chinese Super League may even be 20 times what they were before, then it is no wonder that foreigners are still eager for a Chinese Super League offer despite such serious wage arrears.
