Marta demands more money

"Marta's wage demands are high; $500,000 a year according to some information, close to $1 million according to other.
Marta also wants a guaranteed three year contract. If she gets sick or injured, she should still get paid for the full three years. If the club or the league folds, she should still get paid for the entire contract period. It is unclear whether Marta will sign a deal with LA Sol or with AEG or with both. But a guarantee would have to be backed up by AEG, not LA Sol."


I wonder if the US WNT players will get 3 year guaranteed contracts?
