I am curious though, any idea how much a player like Stajan makes there? My wife's stepbrother played in Germany and Italy for years and he was making I think around $60k then, but that was years ago. But he also said that he was given a car and apartment and also was able to eat at restaurants for free a lot. Most of his expenses were taken care of either by the team or sponsors.

Do not remember where i saw this but reportedly top players in the league made around 100k. I believe Stajan is going there for the love for the game, guys made tons of money and wont likely get any substantial cash over there considering what he has already made in his lifetime.
