Daniil Shishkarev, captain of CSKA Moscow and the Russian national handball team, said in an interview: “Lente.ru” About the earnings of handball players.
“The best players of the Russian championship earn from 600 thousand to one million rubles a month. But I think there are ten,” said the athlete.
He also compared the salaries of handball players in Russia and Europe. “If we are talking about the best players in the best clubs in Europe, their salaries are disproportionately higher compared to the best handball players in the Russian Super League. I think their salaries are ten times higher,” said Shishkarev.
Shishkarev, 35, won the Handball Champions League twice with the Macedonian Vardar team. He was awarded the Macedonian Medal of Merit. Shishkarev is also a six-time Russian champion and bronze medalist at the World Club Championships.
