There was huge furore in the football world recently when Football Leaks released information that Lavezzi earned nearly £200,000 more than his Argentine compatriot Lionel Messi at Hebei China Fortune.

The Argentine winger has failed to have much of an impact in the Chinese side however, having made only 10 appearances due to an injury he picked up during international duty with Argentina.

On the other hand, Oscar recently shocked the footballing world when he said that he would be making a move to Shanghai SIPG in the January transfer window for a reported fee of £60 million.

At Shanghai SIPG, Oscar will be able to partner with his Brazilian compatriot Hulk earning a cool £400,000/week in the process. Oscar and Lavezzi together are the second highest paid footballers in the world.
