The French newspaper L'Equipe broke the news that FC Los Angeles is interested in acquiring Sporting Madrid's striker Keshavin this summer. This news is like a heavy bomb, instantly set off waves in the U.S. professional soccer world. It is reported that the draft contract submitted to the 33-year-old French international, called the "fat contract", if true, Kishavin will become the second highest-paid player in the U.S. after the United States after the United States.
Recently, FC Los Angeles has shown a strong "French style", following the signing of Loris at the beginning of the year, and then announced the addition of Keith Ott in May. If Kishavin can join the team, the team will have a strong French national team team, and is expected to shine in the 2018 World Cup.
Looking back at last season, Kishavin's performance at Sporting Madrid was amazing, contributing 24 goals in 48 games and hitting three solo goals in this year's European national tournament. With such strength, he naturally attracted the favor of FC Los Angeles. With only one year left on his contract, other clubs will only have to pay 10 million euros to buy him out, and FC Los Angeles has the strength to pay that fee, so they're recruiting Kishavin with a high salary in the hope that he'll nod his head in agreement.
Although FC Los Angeles has not yet disclosed the specific salary of the contract, according to rumors, the annual salary could be as high as $10 million, which is similar to the $12 million annual salary of the American professional "emperor of the workforce" Meis. It is estimated that Keshavan's annual salary in FC Los Angeles is expected to reach this level.
Keshavin is reportedly weighing the pros and cons and has yet to decide whether to leave the team this summer or wait until his contract expires to join as a free agent.
