They earn millions and can live a life of luxury, but don't perform in Liga MX
Two players who play for two of Mexico's richest clubs earn millions of dollars but do not perform for their clubs.
In Mexican soccer, there are very extreme cases of players who are highly valued for their performances and when they decide to change clubs, teams can tempt them with real million-dollar sums, and overnight these players suffer a very strong change in their lives. For example, an anecdote told by Alexis Vega speaks very well of this situation.

The current Chivas striker and international with the Mexican national team told Mexican media that he went from earning around 409 dollars a month to more than 92 thousand dollars a month when he started to stand out in Toluca. And then, there are the opposite cases in which there are players, especially those who come to Liga MX from abroad and expect to earn million-dollar salaries.
And in most cases, this is what happens, since, for example, André Pierre-Gignac went from earning a little more than 3 million, 859 thousand dollars to earning 8 million, 978 thousand dollars. And the maximum performance is always expected from them, however, there are cases in which foreign players come to Liga MX, earn millions, and do not perform as expected.
Players who earn millions and can live a life of luxury, but do not perform in Liga MX
There are two players who are always part of the lists of the highest-paid players in Mexican soccer, but who do not make a difference in their teams, nor score goals or perform in the team play, and those players are Florian Thauvin and Vincent Janssen. The former is paid just over 6 million, 200 thousand dollars a year at Tigres, while the latter is paid just over 2 million, 413 thousand dollars a year.
And with the salary they receive per year, the players can have a very good quality of life, and buy brand-name clothes and luxury cars, but so far neither Thauvin nor Janssen has been a reference in their teams and although on some occasions they have contributed to team play, they still do not perform as expected of them.
