Paolo Guerrero is the man of the moment in the Peruvian national team and the most prominent figure in Flamengo of Brazil. His goals, his game, and the fierceness he puts into every match make him a desirable star for any team. In recent days, a rumor has emerged in the Argentine media that River Plate wants him for 2018.
Paolo Guerrero and a determining figure
Paolo Guerrero was also previously sought after by Boca Juniors although there was never a formal offer for the Flamengo forward. Now, River Plate is looking for a forward and everyone in Argentina is asking for the Peruvian national team forward. However, there is a small detail that complicates any possible transfer. It is the salary of the Peruvian forward, which reaches $280,000 per month in Flamengo and makes him the highest-paid footballer in South America.
Why is this detail a problem? Because the highest-paid player in Argentine football is Fernando Gago and his monthly salary is not even half of what Paolo Guerrero receives in Flamengo. The Argentine midfielder earns $110,000 per month. Can River Plate improve those $280,000 per month? That is almost impossible.
