5 football stars who are underpaid

#4 Yannick Ferreira Carrasco

Another highly underpaid young talent in the Atlético Madrid team is Yannick Ferreira Carrasco. The 22-year-old Belgian International has proved himself to be a big match player in his first season at the Vicente Calderón Stadium.

The dynamic attacker who prefers to play as a winger or a supporting striker played just about 40 hours of football in his first season in Spain and managed to score 5 and provide another 5.

His performance as a substitute in the all-important Champions League semi-finals against Bayern Munich changed the overall complexion of the game. His latest performance in The European Championship has also impressed all football romantics as well as scouts.

Carrasco earns £32,307 a week (Source: sportsmaza) which is fairly low compared to other star performers of the team. A stable career is the minimal need of every professional and being underpaid can raise second thoughts to the employee’s mind. Surely, Atlético Madrid board members have thought about that already.
