When we talk about HIGH TRANSFERS IN FOOTBALL, luxury life, parties, scandals you mustn’t forget that those occurrences in the world happen in the last 20 years. On the other hand, it is true that demand put on athletes have increased in time. To be a footballer once and today is not the same, today practicing football entails a lot better physical fitness, and greater scarifies. In that sense, it is understandable that their paychecks have increased it is only a question how much.

Sometimes you get the sense that the clubs and sponsors race who will buy a more expensive player and set the record, because for clubs such investment pays off, because sometimes even sales of shirts is enough to get their money back. Real Madrid paid 80 million pounds for Cristiano Ronaldo, and from the sales of shirt with number 9 they made 100 million pounds. Recently Mourinho stated that Ronaldo’s current price is billion euros. Of course, this was said so that potential buyers would withdraw, and this statement actually meant that Ronaldo is not for sale, but will we really be in a situation that one player costs an entire billion Euros? My opinions is that it is worth it for clubs give big paychecks to their footballers, because the biggest clubs earn more than they use for to their player’s fees, and they earned that money thanks to them.

If we look at the list of 10 BEST PAID FOOTBALLERS we will notice that at the very top of the list there offensive player and there is not many defensive players there. Are the defensive players less valuable for a team or is it just a coincidence? Economic rule is that price of every product is formed by the market, that is demand and supply, and that also applies to football players. This means that demand exists and there are people that can pay for that. So, in economic terms, there is not paradox, what remains is moral aspect and question- where football players lose themselves as athletes, and become stars to who football is the least significant thing? Anyway, look at the list of 10 best paid defensive players.
