These are exciting times for young footballers in the country. While the Under-17 players, who represented India in the World Cup, have already made a name for themselves, there has been a windfall for the developmental players featuring in ISL, which starts on November 17. The 27 Under-21 players are all set to earn a combined salary of Rs 6 crore after being offered multi-year contracts, ranging from one to three years.
6 crore combined salary to 27 players for 3 year contract will come out to be around 60 thousand per month for each player. Not sure how much is deducted after that.
In their latest pre-season encounter, FC Pune City took on fellow ISL rivals Chennaiyin FC in a closed-doors match and were held to a 2-2 draw. Marcelinho scored for the hosts first after which Bodo equalised for Chennaiyin. Gurtej's own goal would put the visitors in the lead for a period of time before Diego Carlos' equaliser.
