Odion Ighalo will most likely have to take a massive pay cut of 30%, which could translate to as much as 120,000 pounds a week, should he return to Chinese Super League club Shanghai Shensua from his loan spell at Manchester United this summer.
Ighalo is reportedly on 300,000 pounds a week at Shanghai Shensua, who recently offered the striker a new contract that will pay him 400,000 pounds a week.
A 30% cut on his new deal would mean he will forfeit 120,000 pounds a week.
China’s leading newspaper The People’s Daily has reported that the Chinese Football Association have asked the clubs to reduce players’ salaries by as much as 30% due to the crisis caused by the Coronavirus Pandemic.
The Chinese Super League was scheduled to begin on February 22 before the Coronavirus began to ravage the world.
The league is now expected to kick off in June.
