In recent days, one of the strongest rumors that has revolved around the America club is the possible interest in the Inter Milan player, Arturo vidal, the successful Chilean midfielder who boasts championships in Italy, Spain, Germany and even a two-time Copa América championship.
Besides having to convince him to leave the Italy Serie A, the main factor that works against the Eagles is the economic one, since the salary that the “King Arthur”Perceived in Milan is one of the highest in the entire championship.
Arturo vidal receive in the International little more than USD 7 million per year, according to information from Diario As Chile, a figure that looks stratospheric in Mexican soccer, because even before the arrival of Florian Thauvin a Tigers, the highest paid player in Mexican soccer was Andre Pierre Gignac, with USD 4.6 million year.

Although the salary of the Chilean midfielder is quite high for the Mexican market, it is essential to put into context how much the Chilean midfielder pays annually. America club to two players who for different reasons have spent the night inside Coapa.
Nicolas Castillo Y Giovani Dos Santos occupy the second and third rung in the list of the highest paid players within the Eagles, since they are only below Guillermo Ochoa, who receives USD 4.5 million year.
The two forwards azulcremas receive USD 3 million per season, according to information from Goal, so that the two salaries together would complete almost the entire tab that would have to face the America for signing a player like Arturo vidal.

The two azulcremas players reached the America in 2019. Castillo landed in January and Giovani did so in July, for which they already have more than two years of contract with the Eagles, which would mean a waste of approximately USD 13 million.
Despite Giovani Dos Santos has a contract subject to his matches played, goals and titles, the figure could drop a bit, according to information from ESPN; However, it is still an exorbitant number within Aztec football, especially due to the performance that the two have offered.
In the two years of the contract that accumulates “Gio”, The 32-year-old Mexican has played 42 games, in which he only recorded four goals and two assists, very poor numbers for the salary he receives. These figures are also the product of his constant injuries that prevented him from being a constant element in the team.

In a worse situation you are Nicolas Castillo, since the Chilean soccer player accumulates 27 games in two and a half years of contract. Despite accumulating nine annotations and three assists in that period, the investment balance with respect to productivity is disastrous.
The terrible injuries that he suffered between 2019 and 2020 cannot be set aside, because first he fractured the fibula in the Opening 2019 and although he recovered in less than three months, almost immediately after a tendon in the rectus femoris of the right thigh ruptured.
The worst happened during the operation, as he suffered a thrombosis that put his leg, his career and even his life at risk. From that moment in early 2020, “Nico” is still recovering after more than a year of absence.
Thus were two of the least productive investments made by the America in recent years, with salaries that could even affect the hiring of better reinforcements and who most likely They will not continue in the club for Apertura 2021.
