How much do foreign players get paid in Europe? Which leagues are the highest paid and which teams in Europe pay their foreign players the most?

Thanks

I think your best chance is Italy or Holland . but you have to be really good to play in their top league

And I think that there arent real salaries paid in general in europe! I would say they pay a part of your expense, give you a room and the Team pays you for some youth coaching a small salary or stuff like that!
Gotta remember that a lot of Teams in the european leagues dont have the financial basis for havin real pro players...i would say there are only one or two places in each eurpean topteam for such players.

greetings!

If you wanna play in Europe, make your posts in the right thread, its pretty annoyin with all the "personal ads" that show up in every thread. There is a specific thread for players and coaches that want to come and play over in Europe. Is there a moderator that can move these posts to the right thread?

The Italian and Dutch league definately pays the best, however they still do not pay very good compared to U.S. Leagues. Just like locodude pointed out there are not many teams that have a lot of players that play just baseball, outside of Italy and Holland there are probably none. I'm not sure what the leagues in Holland and italy pays, but it would be interesting to know. Besides those two leagues just about all arangements are like the one locodude described: room and board, reimbursement for travel expenses, and if you help with coaching kids maybe som extra cash. You have to remember that in most European Leagues the players pay for alot of things themselves.

I can say that if u are getting appartment, airfare, food, travel, gym and 400euro a month your on to a good deal.

However if u are desperate there are 100's of clubs that will give u a chance to been seen for 200euro a month and u pay ur way....and if ur lucky u will get a home stay with a team mate or family...

Well the Italian and Dutch leagues are legit......getting in without pro experience in the first league is extremely tough although they will take on some guys who played big time D1 ball.

The pay is legit in the first league in the Italian or Dutch league, much better than the indie leagues in the US. Some guys get upwards of 5-6k (euro not USD). Most players however will range between 1200-3000 with housing, car, and some meals.

The other leagues, like the German first league for instance done pay nearly as much and usually you need to help coach or deal with young kids. They usually pay anywhere between 300-800 euro per month, and they will give you housing, and pay for your flight.

The lower tier leagues such as Belgium or Austria pay even less.

Hope that helps!

thanks man that helped me big time
