There was lots of talk about this when his contract was extended last year and I’m sure it was reported that he accepted a reduced salary. Or Is the £120k per week the reduced salary?

His salary was never reduced he is still on 120k a week, if we had offered him a reduced contract before his contract had finished he would have been entitled to a free transfer, i think parish gambled on extending it hoping that he would improve and someone would come in, now that doesn't matter because the Jan window came and went, as a free he will get more money elsewhere than the 60k we might offer. Eze is on 30K and Ayew 32.500k both are better than Benteke.

Footballers salaries should be public information.

Maybe I shouldn’t have said extended. As far as I can remember he was at the end of his current contract and we offered him a new 1 year one. There must be a thread on here somewhere that covers all this but in a brief search I couldn’t find it.

I would have been amazed if a failing striker was offered £120k per week.

We can't sell him. He can go for free this summer as he's out of contract.

Even if he signs a new four year deal I doubt we'd ever recoup anything much for him in terms of transfer fee now, as he is not only crap but also getting old.

Because the opposition have the ball 65% of the time and he is the only one that can vaguely hold the ball up long enough for any support to move forward.
