Vagner Love's wage demands make switch from CSKA Moscow to FC Porto unlikely – Liga Sagres News
CSKA Moscow star http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186’s fee structure, compelling the club to search for other potential targets.
FC Porto had reportedly made an offer for the Brazilian International earlier, but CSKA Moscow promptly rejected all advances, citing that the proposal was far too low compared to the striker’s value.
While it was widely expected that the Portistas would be returning with a much improved deal, it looks like the Portuguese outfit have backed off due to Vagner Love’s wage demands.
The 27-year-old is not the most prolific or agile forward in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Russia-c2991 but yet remains one of the most highly paid. Being a Brazilian International, Love is able to command a hefty salary for his services, something which FC Porto are not prepared to break
the bank for.
Players at Estadio do Dragao earn decent amounts of money, with the highest ever earner being http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Radamel-Falcao-c30276, who pocketed a mouth-watering €55,000 per week, a figure quite unheard of in the Portuguese Primeira Liga.
However, the Colombian warranted the princely sum as his goalscoring exploits on the pitch were nothing less than sensational for the Dragons. Finding the back of the net 39 times during the 2010/11 campaign, Falcao became an icon at the club and was touted
to become one the game’s best.
Despite being the inspirational leader of the team, the 25-year-old engineered a switch to Atletico Madrid in the summer and will not be here to rescue Porto when matches get tough.
As his replacement, manager Vitor Pereira had been on the search for an elite front man with Vagner Love one of the prime candidates on his list to succeed Falcao. While the club were willing to match his transfer fee, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Flamengo-c39361 man’s wages have
presented a dire problem due to which the officials have decided to quell their interest.
While it remains uncertain who FC Porto have on their radar now, they will definitely have to speed up the process so that any potential deal can be completed before the transfer window closes.
