The superstar Marta, 28, has signed for three years with the Swedish champions Malmö.

– She fits within our budget, says Chairman Hakan Wifvesson.

Recently, stated Rosengård – who last fall won his fourth national championship in five years – that football association must save three million crowns next year, of which one million crowns on the women’s team. Despite the savings requirement, Malmö club now made clear with an extension for three years with the Brazilian superstar Marta, who joined the association in July on a contract year.

– Marta low budget already. Therefore, we have been clear in the hearing that we have not had any big spaces to offer wages in other countries. She is offered wages in other countries is twice than that she is with us, says Håkan Wifvesson.

Is in Brazil

Marta is currently in Brazil for a fyrnationsturnering national team .

– It had to be a handshake over the phone on Sunday night. Then she went straight out and scored three goals against the United States, says Wifvesson.

No external funding agency does not pay salary to 28-year-old, who now receive a pay packet on a

par with, for example Rosengårds premier league shooting queen Anja Mittag. The club won the Battle for world star by offering Brazilians scan a plan for a civilian career after football and that Martha got through the requirement to retain their individual sponsorship agreement.

Plus association’s ambition to go all the way in the Champions League football. In March, waiting for Wolfsburg in the quarter-finals – CL-winner past two years.

– I think it is an important parameter for her. She hunts titles, says Wifvesson.

No CL-million

In the Champions League seems Rosengård in a completely different economic reality than city colleague Malmo FF, which raised over 100 million dollars on its CL participation in the autumn. Rosengård need support from the municipality to invest in Europe Games and Wifvesson is critical of European Football Associations (UEFA) “unfair” treatment of damturneringen.

– Although the men pull in a lot of money in sponsorship, we think that one percent of that which goes to the gentlemen could have gone to the ladies. Then had no damförening made no remarks, he said.
