Nizhny Novgorod midfielder Mamadou Maiga said that it is impossible to live in Russia on 30 thousand rubles a month.

This is how he responded to the words of the Zenit goalkeeper, who said that this amount was enough for him.

How can you live on 30 thousand, that's how much you spend on gasoline, - Maiga noted. This is reported by Sport24 .

He thinks that 30 thousand rubles is too little for independent living. Unless the club pays for his other expenses.

There are different figures in football regarding this issue.
