According to whom?
The Telegraph are reporting £346k / week. Even accounting for tax that doesn't add up.

And of course the Telegraph is likely to be correct......
Why are monaco looking rid of all these players, owner got bored?
Any source is more likely to be correct/incorrect depending on what you want to hear

Bad divorce
A very expensive divorce and realising the Monaco super club dream wasn't working so tightening things up, reportedly anyway.
All I was meaning is that we don't know, and are unlikely to ever know even in the right ballpark what he is being paid
We usually find out a rough idea Frank.
Wasn't it said that Ronaldo's original Madrid deal went up each year so the last year of his contract he was on 500k per week? Only link I can find is an old daily star article saying that

Considering Monaco can continue to pay him legally, the chances are he's on the same as he was and Utd are paying the wages in one lump sum to Monaco as an upfront fee. Reporters always change their mind on how they report wages, sometimes they add it up, fairly sure they were doing that with Adebayor's move to City, it was some stupid £80million deal for Adebayor, which was the fee + 5 years of wages they randomly stated as the total cost when you'd usually just report the transfer fee.
It makes more sense to Utd to pay Monaco the money, monaco pay him the wages as usual... tax free wages. British press probably not realising that's the deal and guessing 180k a week means £340k before tax.
Considering Monaco's situation and being able to pay tax free, it would be pretty stupid to not take advantage of that. Makes absolutely no difference to Falcao or to Monaco, it only helps Utd and Monaco have no reason to make life difficult for Utd, in fact if his wages all but doubled they'd likely not take him on loan so it's good for Monaco to help them out(presuming they want to offload his wages which seems a possibility).

You are welcome to make a guess by all means but that's all it will be without payslips etc (or very detailed accounts, which the club wont release)

Huntelaar off to Arsenal?

I'm not saying it is correct, but they're a respectable paper and I haven't seen anywhere else quoting his wages.
If someone else is claiming £160k / week then I'd be interested to read about it.
...cite sources people.

I would assume that Falcao would have to pay tax on his earnings as he will be resident in the UK. It shoudn't make a difference who pays him.
Guilleme of course!
Although during this he seems to have been in the know, if I remember right, one of his colleagues has been close to the info.
As much as I detest him, I believe him over the Telegraph.
He's also reporting that you're obligated to sign him for €60m+ next summer too though.
I'm all but certain that he'd be taxed over here still.

£17m for Danny Welbeck.....even including the "British player between British teams" tax it sounds unlikely

We seem too be transfer muppets this season but I don't think we would be that stupid without first having a year to see if he's completely over the injury.
