Portuguese soccer superstar Cron, whose desire to play in the UEFA Europa League burns like a flame, has made him desperate to break away from Manchester United this summer. However, new teammate Anthony Mafios has made a very different choice, abandoning his UEFA Europa League trip with Ajax to join the United camp. What appeared to be two extreme decisions were equally driven by money. As it turned out, United's salary offer for the 22-year-old Brazilian winger was too tempting.
According to rumors, Ajax's highest paid player last season, Schibstein Horner, who has moved to Dormont this summer, is earning a whopping €2.04 million a year after taxes. Anthony Mafios, on the other hand, earns only €780,000 per year, which is not commensurate with the performances of the two stars.
Manchester United seem to know the "silver bullet tactic" and lured Anthony Mathias with a hefty paycheck. After he became a member of United, his annual salary jumped to 6.65 million euros, an increase of more than eight times, and this kind of offer is difficult for Anthony to refuse. As a result, he preferred to give up his participation in the current UEFA Europa League and even went as far as suspending his training to force Ajax to release him to United.
Anthony Maffios, who is worth almost 100 million euros, has suddenly become a "rich man". His brother, Emerson Santos, worried that his younger brother would be lost in the "lure of money", took to social media with a song to convey the message that he should not forget his original intention, that even though he is rich, he should still care for those who are in need of help, and that he should not get carried away by the luxury life, so as not to jeopardize his performance on the field.
