It’s also a misleading figure, as it includes the wages they’re saving whilst he’s not there. It’s like the reverse United effect of reporting finances.
Only Liverpool have their transfer fees in reported without bonuses and their transfer fees out reported inclusive of all potential bonuses. I’d bet good money the truth about this £8.4m is that Real will only pay the full amount if they hit a lot of conditions.
From what I understand, most of the money is in the late stages of the competition. From semis to winner is like 90m out of the potential 125m. So not bombing out won't help much, they need to do well if they want the money.
Every club cares about it, the prize money is massive
I can see the likes of paddy power drafting their tweets right now. This news alongside our open top bus tour of Malaysia in front of one man and his dog.
You'll get more money than 10m if Real Madrid buys Carreras from Benfica, IIRC.
It’s not always as simple as “player leaves on a free contract” Bosman transfers can go to arbitration and there is usually compensation paid out to academy players who leave on free transfers if I remember correctly.
Clubs are due an indemnity for "formative" rights, but it's not 4m. I was wondering where that figure came from
Operating expenses, including amortization, total wage bill(Madrid's is around 50% of revenue iirc) stadium costs, travel costs, etc, etc
The FIFA abomination pays upwards of 100m euros to the winner and Madrid really wants to win that money
But 10m is simply insanity.
Also, the way the media report Liverpool related stories is usually very favourable - it's maybe that much with various bonuses kicking in depending on how the tournament begins, but a lower fee to begin with.
I don't see Florentino as a guy that likes insane moves. 10 m may be insanity but the actual circumstances also are.
Bayern has the same issue with Leverkusen regarding Tah. It’s simply braindead scheduling on the part of FIFA.
That I very much agree with.
Usual suspects with your calimero complex at it again
You both have zero zilch nada idea about how that amount is structured and what is/isn't included.He was our player until June 30th if they hadn't done so - it wasn't for "their own player".
Yea but you get my point. It's agreed and he's moving in 30 days. Paying that much seems excessive
how do FSG do it? And that melt Neville says they need an ownership change because it takes them a few extra months to get contracts done. I'd certainly hope they'd be so daft.
