Football Leaks contract details (Aubameyang, van Dijk, Sanchez, Lukaku, Morata and more)

[Damien]

I could whip up something more impressive looking in 10 minutes. Who is leaking all of these contracts and to who?

It all seems like a complete load of bullshit to me, but maybe I'm being overly cynical.

Go ahead. I'll be kind and give you 20 minutes.

 

[VeevaVee]

That's terribly presented isn't it?

Kinda insane that someone can start a game of football and walk away with 75 grand innit (nevermind their actual wage).

 

[The Bloody-Nine]

Go ahead. I'll be kind and give you 20 minutes.

Envisage the same paper, only with a Man Utd header. There you go.

The book https://www.amazon.co.uk/Football-Leaks-Uncovering-Behind-Beautiful/dp/1783351403 is published by the Guardian https://www.guardianbookshop.com/about-guardian-faber

Of course it is going to be genuine. There is no way the Guardian would be risking their reputation if it isn't solid info.

The author is a prize winning Der Spiegel journalist.

There is a lot more than being a professional Footballer than the match.

Couple of games a week.. 104 games a year. Not really happening, is it?

And since when are we adding image rights into the weekly wages? We are making more money from that than we are paying him for it.

I imagine we've been adding image rights to weekly wages since we started giving contracts like that. Rooney's weekly wage also included image rights.

My old client is a football agent and I've seen loads of his contracts and dealings. Everything doesn't include club headers.

Did he issue them to national newspapers like The Daily Mail?

A few hours training a day + a few media/sponsorship commitments for some isn't exactly a tough job. Seen more than one footballer say they have a lot of free time and need to find stuff to fill it with.

 

[limerickcitykid]

I've never asked him. But I could easily forward them on and they still wouldn't have a header on them.

That's awesome.

They're dicks for including the image rights in Sanchez's weekly wage and not the others but his weekly wage is apparently £275k excluding image rights.

Maybe because he's massively overpaid in image rights too? I tried to compare with other starts from EPL and found this piece from Sam Lee about De Bruyne's salary in his new improved contract. He'll get £200k in basic salary, and only £264k after bonuses and image rights!

De Bruyne's basic wage will be the euro eqivalent of £200,000 per week (currently around €230,000) and will be topped up by various other bonuses and payments.
The midfielder's existing agreement is paid in pound sterling, but due to the fall in the valuation of the currency since the United Kingdom's European Union referendum in 2016, De Bruyne's agent, Patrick De Koster, has negotiated a switch to euros.

City want to acquire 100 per cent of De Bruyne's image rights in exchange for a yearly lump sum, and it is expected an agreement worth around £2m per year (20 per cent of the basic wage) will be reached at a meeting in early January.
A €10m (£9m) signing-on fee will paid over the duraton of the six-year deal, and once that and the image rights agreement is factored in, the 26-year-old's weekly wage will be worth roughly €300,000 (£264,000).

Mail and Guardian didnt have it, they borrowed contract information from German newspaper Der Spiegel, which is true Football Leaks source.

About Football Leaks, since its beginning, i've heard several clubs complaining about their privacy, still not a single one denial about the reliability of leaked information. Also affected clubs even sought investigation from authorities, they would never do that if the leaks werent real in the first place

Telegraph report KdB gets around 350k after bonuses.

 

[RedRonaldo]

If Sanchez is still good at this time why not ? Ribery is still starting at Bayern at 35.

His performances so far didn't even justify 1/3 of his wages to be fair.

 

[KM]

They're opening themselves to a lot of lawsuits if they're straight up fabricating the contracts just to sell their book.

 

[prath92]

Lukaku deal seems really fair tbh. Especially when you consider the amounts involved with Morata

 

[Tarrou]

£10m to Everton if Lukaku scores 23 goals in each of his first 4 seasons. What the flying feck?!?

That seems reasonable. It's just one £10m payment right, rather than 4x£10m?

 

[el3mel]

We didn't it him for half a dead season. Will save my judgement till next year.

 

[unplayable]

As soon as people hear the word "leaked" they believe everything.

 

[do.ob]

As soon as people hear the word "leaked" they believe everything.

Yeah, or maybe people trust football leaks because they uploaded raw contracts, because nothing has ever been exposed as fabricated (though that would've been easy), because their leaks led to actions against Twente and because "der Spiegel" is a reliable institution.

Rafael Buschmann - the guy who is basically the conduit between FL and journalists - was in Sky's football talk show together with Rangnick (RBL's DoF) earlier this season and when Rangnick started spinning his fairytales about financial responsibility and modesty Buschmann started quoting numbers from player contracts and Rangnick's reaction wasn't "you're full of shit", it was "how did you get access to this".

 

[MDFC Manager]

Why do people think any of this is legit?

I'm heavily sceptical of it.

When Sam Lee reports something it is the narrative that City want to put out there, he is their mouthpiece in the press. City claim to pay players what are relatively budget wages but their wage bill is massive, it doesn't add up.
