Miguel Layún Watford salary sacrifice

Miguel Layún, ex captain of América and a former Mexican national team player, explained the economic sacrifice behind his move to Europe. The offer from América was basically whatever number he wanted to write down. His answer? It wasn't about money. He wanted to chase the dream of finding out if he could compete in European football. Watford in England came calling, and he took the job for half of his América salary, and that's before counting the raise they'd put on the table. The cost of living in England hit so hard that saving anything was barely possible. Then came the kicker: some of his Championship teammates were pulling in seven times more than him. That's the trade when the dream is the priority. #MiguelLayun
