Kamara left Marseille for Aston Villa… for an incredible salary – Sport.fr
Recruited by Aston Vila this summer, Boubacar Kamara will earn a small fortune in the English championship.
At the end of his contract with Olympique de Marseille this summer, the young Boubacar Kamara has finally made the decision to join Aston Villa. A surprising career choice, especially when you know that Atlético Madrid was also in the running. But the 22-year-old Marseillais gave his preference to Villans, 14th in the Premier League.
The XXL salary that the player will receive in England could be one of the reasons behind his departure from OM. According to information from journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Boubacar Kamara has signed for Aston Villa for a salary of 65 million euros over five years, signing bonus included. This is twice what the defensive midfielder received in Ligue 1.
