That is Samuel Eto'os purported new weekly wages in Kshs according to today's CBK mean exchange rates at some tongue twisting Russian Club.It makes him the world's highest paid athlete. http://www.mirrorfootbal...layer-article783604.htmlIt is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt...

@McReggae,from that link,its the greatest athlete and not greatest soccer player.Understand this is salary and not gross income which might come from royalties,adverts,sponsorships etc;let Eto'o be the highest paid athlete in peace! Amen. Portfolio: Sold

@Imounity For athletes like F1 drivers, golfers et al you can never divorce the royalties/sponsorships/endorsements Check out what Kobe Bryant earns: His icome 2010-2011 was USD 53M and salary alone at USD 24.8M way above what E'too will get in a year!!! ..."Wewe ni mtu mdogo sana....na mwenye amekuandika pia ni mtu mdogo sana!".

These players should realize that money is not all. Isnt what he is earning in his current club enough? Robinho refused to be sold to a club in Turkey…Don’t know how much they offered because he knows he has to remain relevant. How will he live in Russia…The club may be offering him so much…but what about the lifestyle…There may not be so many places where he can spent this loot. If you ask me, him and his agent have lost it. Once he moves to Russia, that will be the end of him. That is my take!

Eto'o has won everyithin to be won in world football(CL, La Liga Scudetto,Supercups,Pichichi,European Golden boots,scored in 2 different champions league finals,Olympic gold medal, Africans Nations cup). In fact the only thing missing is the world cup. There is nothing left for him to prove to anybody. Let him get the loot.

I remember watching a documentary on football in Russia and hearing a 14 year old say "We don't mind foreigners playing on our teams so long as they aren't n**gers." Hopefully he is a minority otherwise Eto'o is in for some serious name calling. In a place where thought is abandoned, freedom can become a curse.

It is something he black players get used to when they go to Europe. It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt...

With age catching up and having accomplished alot, he might just be thinking of retirement... and what better way than consolidate your earnings and make the maximum out of your career. What the use of being recognized as an MD when you are taking the clerk's salary on the average labour market? Kazi bure! but anyway, depends on individual's actualization requirements.....

But all the same, he went thro some madha.... in the end, who's laughing all the way to the bank now?Utu wake sasa unatambuliwa. Accept no one's definition of your life; define your life.

It could be a Russian project to get their people get used to Blacks before 2018. Remember racism claims almost scuttled their bid.

"And of course, there's nothing sinful about making sacrifices for money. Eto'o doesn't owe his fans any explanations. But he surely owed us more of his brilliance, which will now be dimmed." Eto'o has sold out his greatness
