They don't get paid much but they do get paid more than in Albania but that's the problem. It's not that those other nations like Iran, Kuwait, relegation/2nd division Turkey, etc pay them Saudi money money but they do pay them them the bare minimum which Albania is not capable of. It's like Sadiku going to Bolivia that one time. You really believe starving Bolivia paid much?? No but he probably got a few more dollars than he would get in Albania.
Serbia, Romania, Croatia are all good examples. They don't pay their players that much but they cover the minimum. When we talk about Albanian clubs getting their shit together that's what we're talking about.
