Today, Alexis Vega is a consolidated player with the Chivas de Guadalajara and the Mexican National Team , so he is used to receiving a good salary that allows him to indulge in certain luxuries, but this was not always the case, since in his beginnings with Toluca in the 900 was very surprised when he saw his first big salary: he hoped it would be enough for clothes and he was able to buy a BMW car and buy many more things.
The front of 24 years related that when he had just won a place in the starting lineup of the Red Devils he had some very intense weeks, with a series of important matches inside and outside of Mexico, which included commitments against big teams from the Liga MX and South America in the Copa Libertadores, so when he went to the cashier he had already accumulated 3 payments, so he thought he would have $14,000 Mexican pesos ($ 725 dollars) saved, from according to his salary by his payroll; However, he was very surprised when he saw that his balance was $1,800,000 pesos ($86,900 Dollars).
“When they give us rest, we hadn’t been to the clubhouse for about a month and a half and I already had in my mind ‘I have three fortnights, so I’m going to buy something, I already have my 15 a thousand pesos’”, explained the player in the podcast from his partner in Chivas Jesús Angulo.
“He earned a thousand 290 and it rose to eight thousand fixed, and then for minutes played or games it reached a cap of 24 thousand pesos, so I said ‘I have 15 a thousand pesos, I’m going to buy some shirts and pants,” he added. L went to the cashier and put the card in and I didn’t have about a million 800 (thousand). It seemed very strange to me, I went with a friend and I told him ‘you were wrong, this fair is not mine,'” he said.
Immediately afterwards, according to his account, Vega called the accountant from the club to explain to him that they had deposited him too much and what was his surprise when he told him that this money belonged to him, that was the set of his accumulated bonuses, since the victories in the Libertadores matches were paid up to in $123,000 pesos ($4,870 dollars) , more or less the same was with the wins against “big” teams of the Liga MX.
Once he verified that they were his earnings, he began to spend it and the first thing he thought of was his relatives, whom he paid trip for them to visit him, he gave them clothes and gave them money. Then he went to buy a car and he didn’t get the one he had always dreamed of, but a better one.
“I told my girlfriend ‘when I have my first money, who wants to buy me a car, I’m going to buy an Ibiza’, I saw Ibizas everywhere. When the money comes to me, the first thing I do is send for my parents, my brothers, I take them to the market and I bought everything from them. I still gave them money so that they would have and leave happy. I said, ‘I’m going to buy my car so I don’t pay for taxis, I’m going to buy an Ibiza’, but well no, I went to BMW, I bought a BM, my first car. My father-in-law helped me and they left it for me in $290,000 pesos ($14,123 dollars)”, he added.
