highest paid footballer in England indeed? Let us try to figure out this
together!
Alexis Sanches came out of
an ordinary Chilean family, and due to his perseverance and dedication, the
footballer was able to become one of the highest paid football players. But he
was born in a small port town in the family where he was the fourth child. The
footballer was not born with a gold spoon in his mouth. His family faced
difficulties especially after the head of the family – a poor fisher, unable to
feed his wife and children left them alone.
Alexis Sanches - highest
paid footballer in England
The family lived in
complete poverty. The mother of the future football player had to take on any
job to feed her kids. Alexis did his best to help his mother. The boy washed
cars and participated in street fights. On the Internet, one can find the
interview, where a brother of Alexis Sanches tells about their family life. He
explains that they survived in all possible ways and sometimes there was no
money at all, so the children had to ask for food from their neighbours.
Sanches` uncle tried to
help the lonely mother, but he also had no funds for children’s education.
Street football was the only chance for Alexis. Up to 14 years old, the boy
played for the amateur club of his hometown "Arauco", and then moved
to another local club. Already at the age of 16, the footballer made his debut
in the main part of the club. For their quickness and purposefulness, as well
as productiveness on the field, journalists often called Sanchez a “miracle
boy”.
His serious football career
began in 2006 with the transition to the Italian Udinese. The club paid for the
transfer of the player £1.7 million, which was already considered a decent
amount of money.
In 2011, Sanchez signed a
contract with the legendary Barcelona, becoming the first Chilean to join the
team. The team has spent about €26 million on Alexis in the whole. And they
definitely did not regret, Sanches had spent three productive seasons with
Barcelona, and during this time lapse, he scored thirty-eight goals!
In 2014 Alexis moved to a
new club. This time, Sanchez put on an Arsenal T-shirt. The salary of the
player with every new contract grew up, and in Arsenal, the annual fee for
Alexis was €4.5 million (more than $5 million)!
On January 22, 2018, a
direct exchange of players took place between two world-famous clubs. Arsenal
gave Sanchez to Manchester United, receiving from the Red Devils Heinrich
Mkhitaryan. Today the sportsman earns crazy $450,000 per week officially. According
to the famous football resource transfermarkt.de, Alexis` transfer cost today
is €45 million (about $51 million). Currently, he lives in a luxurious mansion
in Greater Manchester and rides Bentley GT supercar.
This is the story about how
the poor boy from Chile became the highest paid footballer in the English
Premier League. This real story one more time proves that everything is
possible in this world for someone with determination and hard-work.
