| Sami Khedira |
According to Yahoosports: Per FIFA rules, the world soccer governing body compensates clubs for every day a player misses beyond the first 28 with an injured suffered on international duty. That compensation: Covering the player’s salary.
Khedira makes just over $22,000 per day with Real Madrid. If his ACL tear keeps him out for the projected six months, FIFA will owe the Merengues just under $3.7 million, according to today’s reports out of Spain.
Had Cristiano Ronaldo (earning an estimated $28.3 million per year) suffered the same injury, FIFA would be set to cut Real Madrid a check for $11.8 million.
