been on £80,000 a week.
The player joined West Ham United on loan, with a permanent transfer deal of
£15m in 2013, a record transfer deal for West Ham United, with a 6 year contract,
with minimum wages matching his Liverpool salary.
But injuries to Carroll meant he only had 62 league starts in 6 years.
He signed for Newcastle United has a free agent in 2019, with a small reported
guaranteed wage of £20,000 a week.
Carroll now signed for championship club Reading on a 2 month deal, up to mid
January 2022.
Reading are on a transfer embargo due to breaching financial rules, so the club
are on a strict limitation on squad salary .
The EFL granted a budget of £1,000 a week salary for Carrolls wages, with the
restrictions on the club.
Andy Carroll accepted the the £1,000 a week salary, to get his career back on
track.
If Reading lose players in the January transfer window, thus dropping the clubs
salaries, they may be able to increase Carrolls wages, but if Carroll can regain
decent form, he could decide to go to another club.
