Kongka and Paulinho, in the Chinese Super League, each have a heavy trophy in their honor books. Kongka and Paulinho, the AFC Champions League title each took one, the number of trophies in the Chinese Super League is Kongka and Oscar each accounted for three, while Paulinho alone accounted for four. But if you talk about the high annual salary, Oscar to 24 million euros of annual income to take the lead, will Kongka and Paulinho far behind.
So who are the three soccer superstars - Conca, Paulinho and Oscar - whose value matches their earnings more closely?
Taking Conca as an example, the total expenditure is calculated as follows: transfer fee of 10 million euros, annual salary of 7 million euros x 2 years, totaling 24 million dollars. Converted with the exchange rate of euro in that year, the total expenditure is about 18 million euros. Therefore, Guangzhou Evergrande invested 18 million euros in Conca, and the cost of each championship is 18 million euros divided by 4 trophies, equal to 4.5 million euros.
Paulinho's situation is more complicated. His transfer fee was calculated and finally locked at 16 million euros. The first time he joined the club, he was paid about €7 million a year for two years; the second time he joined the club, he was paid about €15 million a year for three years. In total, the club invested about 75 million euros in Paulinho, with each title costing 75 million euros divided by five trophies, or about 15 million euros.
As for Oscar, the transfer fee was a whopping 60 million euros, and the annual salary went up from 20 million euros to 24 million euros for a four-year contract. Including the transfer fee, the total investment is about 236 million euros, and the cost of each championship is 236 million euros divided by three trophies, about 78.67 million euros.
In comparison, Conca's value for money is undoubtedly the best - his honor costs only €4.5 million, which is a lot of money for the money. Paulinho's cost was three times that of Conca's, while Oscar's was a whopping 17 times. Although Oscar has received mixed reviews from SIPG fans since his departure, is it really worth the price? Perhaps value is not always easy to see.
Guangzhou Evergrande invested less than 15 billion yuan, but harvested 8 titles in the Chinese Super League and 2 Asian Championships, the cost of a single honor is only 1.5 billion yuan. In contrast, Xie Hui has revealed that Shanghai Hong Kong invested 12 billion yuan to win only one title, and if it won three titles with 12 billion yuan, the cost of each honor would be as high as 4 billion yuan. And these figures are still a few years ago, did not take into account the expenditure in recent years.
