Money can still be exchanged hands, even if surreptitiously ... not that a Georgian with multiple arrests for financial shenanigans would ever do anything of that nature.
Re: Alejandro Guido on trial in the Netherlands Guido likely to move to Vitesse in the spring after he turns 18; however, there are several Mexican clubs interested in the lad as well.
Re: Alejandro Guido on trial in the Netherlands i was told 2 years ago by a dutch club official that min wage for foreigners was $250K. maybe different now but regardless it is in this ballpark
Re: Alejandro Guido on trial in the Netherlands The min. for youth age players is just under that figure. The min. for players over 21 (I think that's the cutoff, anyway) is closer to a half-million Euros.

Re: Alejandro Guido on trial in the Netherlands How many do you need? I have: Castillo Carillo Edgar Eduardo 1986 Chavez Badillo Carlo Ivan 1997 Corona Crespin Joe Benny 1990 Garibay Ayala Edgar 1997 Garza Early Gregory Martin 1991 Gonzalez Fernandez Ruben 1997 Quevedo Arvizu Saul Hiram 1997 Saucedo Najera Cirilo 1982 There are almost certainly more, but these are confirmed.
