Andy Carroll was out of £ 80,000 per week during his stay in Liverpool, but he now wins below the French minimum wage for a full -time employee
The 36 -year -old striker, who cost Liverpool 35 million pounds Sterling when they signed him from Newcastle in 2011, is currently playing for Bordeaux in fourth level in France.
A report by the newspaper L’Equipe revealed this week that Carroll wins only € 1,614 gross per month in Bordeaux, which is less than € 1,400 after tax.
This figure is lower than the French minimum wage of € 1,801.80 gross for a week of work of 35 hours, which means that Carroll is officially classified as part -time employee at the club.
The modest agreement of Carroll reflects the current financial difficulties of Bordeaux.
The six French champions were forcibly relegated to National 2 after declaring bankruptcy last year.

But Carroll – who scored 54 goals for Newcastle, Liverpool and West Ham during his Premier League career – is apparently satisfied with his modest income.
In an interview with the team earlier this season, he said: “I rent a beautiful little house and my salary is lower than my rent. If I joined Bordeaux, it is obviously not for money.
Carroll has scored eight goals this campaign so far, with seven remaining matches in the league.
He could earn a bonus of € 2,000 if he reaches ten goals or assists.
Although his professional circumstances have changed considerably, Carroll’s personal life has also undergone an important transformation.
The former star of the Premier League is now going out with the famous makeup artist Lou Teasdale, after making the official Instagram relationship at Christmas.
The couple appreciated the romantic holidays and escapades in recent months, including a ski trip to Megeve in the French Alps to celebrate Andy’s birthday.
Lou, 41, recently published a sincere tribute to Carroll on social networks, the appellant “my favorite person I have never met”.

Carroll’s relationship with Teasdale comes after his separation from his wife Billi Mucklow, which he married in 2022 following an eight -year commitment.
The couple confirmed their divorce last September after having separated secretly earlier in the year. They have been together for 11 years.
In an interview with the Times at the end of last year, Carroll sprang from her new partner and her charitable nature, revealing how she spent Christmas to help the elderly and how she supports LGBTQ +causes.
“She said to me,” Why will you hate someone? “He’s someone I need in my life,” said Carroll.
