VillaParkAvenue Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 9 minutes ago, mottaloo said: Game has truly gone now: The signing bonus alone is a lot bigger than the transfer fee when Neymar went to PSG. So this is basically the most expensive transfer in history, and he’s not even moving. If he pays 50% tax on the bonus he’ll get 150+100+100+100=450 million after tax for three years. Suddenly Neymar and Messi are paid peanuts in comparison (roughly 50m per year). PSG managed to break football again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if as recent as two days ago he was joining Real. From memory I can't think of many players signing a new contract this late in their deal (maybe the snake for us but not comparable) and nobody really saw this coming. I think he is a bit closer to the right figures than those other ones which are ludicrous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parisvilla Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Surely RM will never go back in for him now? Perez is reportedly "apoplectic". But who can afford him if we're in this scenario again when his contract expires in 2025. One report I read said one of Qatar's tools with PSG was to distort the market to such a degree barely anyone could keep up with them. Pretty bleak. But what option did they have? He's probably the best player in the world already. Totally irreplaceable and would, at least to some degree, signal that the PSG/Qatar project had already peaked.

Lichfield Dean Posted May 22, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 22, 2022 Everybody is talking about the money (which is shocking true) but it's the other parts of the deal that worry me. He's basically made himself in charge of the team. Drop him for a game? Sack the manager. Play him when he doesn't want to play? Sack the manager. Play better than him? Find yourself being transferred. He might not exercise any of his new-found powers, but it sounds suspiciously like he wants a say in everything. And anything he doesn't like he won't have to do. Is this player power beyond anything we've seen? I can't imagine his costars are happy about it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re upset because they can see themselves become second rate powers and don’t like it. The money is one thing but this reported veto he’ll have on managers, sporting directors and signings is another thing. I’m sceptical whether that’s actually in the deal. No football club that wasn’t total tinpot could surely approve something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 The "veto" stuff is weird if it is codified in writing. Absolute megastar players have always had that sort of power anyway because their happiness trumps everything, but to have it in a contract? I'm not sure I buy it. I'm not sure I buy the fact that Madrid won't be back in for M'Bappe in 2025 either, football forgets quickly and M'Bappe will still only be 26 when this new contract expires.
