Shocking figure! Former Premier League star Andy Carroll's salary at Bordeaux revealed

Andy Carroll's salary at Bordeaux has caused quite a stir: the former Liverpool and West Ham striker, who once earned £80,000 a week, now makes less than the minimum wage in France.

Details: The 36-year-old footballer currently plays for Bordeaux, which was relegated to the fourth tier of French football due to financial difficulties. According to L'Équipe, his monthly income at the club is just 1,614 euros before tax — less than 1,400 euros net. This is below the official minimum wage in France, making Carroll a part-time employee.

This modest contract reflects the club's dire financial situation. Nevertheless, despite the sharp drop in income, Carroll seems content. In an interview, he noted that he rents a small house, and the rent costs more than his salary. According to him, he joined Bordeaux not for the money.

Reminder: This season, Carroll has scored eight goals. He also has the opportunity to earn a bonus of 2,000 euros if he reaches a total of ten goals or assists.
