Sigh! Another international footballer to sell his house, once played for 4 Chinese Super League giants, now he can't even pay his mortgage

The rise and fall of the Chinese Super League in the past 10 years is a microcosm of China's real estate industry. When the domestic real estate industry is brilliant, nearly half of the clubs in the Chinese Super League investors are large real estate enterprises.

For example, Evergrande Group, which invested in Guangzhou, the eight champion of the Chinese Super League, Zhonghe Group, which invested in Beijing Guoan, Greenland Group, which invested in Shanghai Shenhua, R&F Group, which invested in Guangzhou City, and Huaxia Happiness, which invested in Hebei, etc., are all leading real estate enterprises in China.

After the large real estate enterprises led by Evergrande entered the Chinese soccer circle, it brought a lot of hot money to the Chinese Super League, and the golden dollar soccer began to flourish at all levels of the domestic league.

Against this backdrop, the Chinese Super League has attracted a lot of world-renowned big-name foreign aiders and foreign coaches, who earn millions of euros a year in China. The value of many local players in the league has also risen, and their annual salaries, though not comparable to those of the big-name foreigners, can easily exceed the level of 10 million yuan.

It can be said that the past few years have been one of the craziest phases of the Chinese Super League, with some international players changing teams over the years in order to get big signing fees and huge annual salaries. There is even a player who has played for Shandong Luneng, Shanghai SIPG, Beijing Guoan and Guangzhou Evergrande, the four major Chinese Super League giants.

Needless to say, we all know that this player is the current international footballer Wei Shihao, who is currently playing for Guangzhou. He is from the Luneng youth training, in order to other teams to earn a lot of money to tear up the contract with the old boss, far away from Portugal.

After plating a layer of gold in Europe, Wei Shihao returned to China and joined Shanghai Harbor, the newest team in the Chinese Super League. After only one season with the Harbor, Wei Shihao joined the old Chinese Super League powerhouse Beijing Guoan. He didn't stay too long at Guoan, and joined Guangzhou Evergrande for 20 million yuan a year later.

After joining Guangzhou Evergrande, Wei Shihao's annual salary was significantly increased. As he is a regular in the national team, he was also given a 12 million yuan contract at the top of the Chinese Super League. Combined with income from winning awards, portrait rights and endorsement and advertising fees, Wei Shihao's yearly income at Evergrande is conservatively estimated to be around $20 million as well.

The fact that he is not very old and earns more than ten million dollars a year has made Wei Shihao start to expand. Deciding to put down roots at Guangzhou Evergrande, he purchased a local mansion in Guangzhou in 2020 with a total price tag of 20 million dollars.

Although Wei Shihao's income is already more than 99% of the people in China, but after all, he is not a real entrepreneur, there is not much capital accumulation. So, back then, he only paid a very small part of the down payment for the mansion, and borrowed the rest from the bank. As a result, he pays back the bank loan amount every month up to.

After Evergrande Group had a serious financial situation last year, the Guangzhou team also had the problem of capital workout, and without operating funds, the club became more and more difficult. Under such circumstances, foreigners, naturalized players and most of the first-team starters left the Guangzhou team in just one year.

This time, Wei Shihao surprisingly didn't transfer but stayed with Guangzhou, to which many people think it's because of his frequent job-hopping in the past years and his spotty performance in the league, which has made Wei Shihao already offended most of the Chinese Super League clubs. That's why he's having a hard time finding a new home for himself.

Wei Shihao, who stayed with Guangzhou, is now earning an annual pre-tax salary of 600,000 yuan. This level of income is still considered very high in the country, but completely unable to satisfy the Weishihao has been accustomed to big money. Recently, according to a Shanghai media report, Wei Shihao's current income is not even enough to pay the monthly mortgage.

Therefore, some real estate industry insiders also predicted that Wei Shihao is likely to sell his house in Guangzhou in the near future, in time to stop the loss. Gao Lin, Wei Shihao's former teammate in Guangzhou, has already started to sell one of his mansions in Guangzhou 2 months ago. But due to the offer is too high, so far has not been sold.

From the point of view of the current domestic real estate situation, Wei Shihao's sale of his house is more likely than not to be a costly one. However, he also had to sell, because losing money is better than not being able to pay back the debt by the bank as "old bad" strong.

For the current situation, I do not know whether it will make Wei Shihao regret, regret when not stay in Shandong. Although the salary is not as high as in Evergrande, but at least now can have a stable income. However, there is no "regret medicine" in this world can buy ......
