Why Ibra Move? A Rationale of Footballer

This summer transfer was shocked. Surprisingly, Samuel Eto'o (plus 48 million euro) has been part of exchange to release Ibrahimovic from Inter. It was a huge number. But, I more interested on more personal effect.
Did you now that Samuel Eto'o will get paid around 10-11 million euro per year, but Zlatan poorly can't get more than he get in Inter (9 million euro)?. Are Zlatan irrational?, Are he solely pay attention on Barca's prestige and achievement, thus sacrifice his wage? (FYI: Zlatan before this transfer was considering to move because his negotiation about renewing contract value, including wages, was in deadlock)

An article from BOLA have a good answer.

"..Notes that the Swedish striker got higher take home pay, than the Cameroonian striker...Why? Income tax cut rate on La Liga is only 23% but in Serie-A it is about 43%. So, Eto'o will get 6.27 million euro in real and Zlatan can take 6,93 million euro after tax adjusment."
For this terms, I can say that Ibra point out rationale choice. He looked indifferent on nominal wages, but not after tax treatment. Maybe, that would be the same reason for Kaka and C.Ronaldo. Who knows? But, it was interesting if you remember my previous post.
