PSG owner makes that figure in half and hour
UEFA must set new rules, financial fair play has been fairly bypassed. They must start introducing a salary cap like in NBA. Players should be also traded more easily by the teams and not by the agents.
The competition would be more balanced and hence the matches.
Revenge is a dish best served cold
for the French giants by way of Qatar... (picture from internet) rather it is a dish of cold hard cash!!! It seems they have poached Neymar away. (picture from internet) Well I am sad to see Neymar leave Barcelona as I enjoy watching the great Catalan clu...
Is it done?
Last I read La Liga refused the eur 220 Mil of transfer payment. If that is true, it's insane.
It actually hasn't happened yet.
I heard yesterday Barca were to file a complaint regarding the Financial Fairness regulations. Can't imagine it won't go through sometime today though.
Not finalized. Barca & La Liga want to have a p**sing contest with PSG for a little bit to feel better
I don't blame them for feeling hurt but it's a case of spilt milk. ;-)
Apparently, just finalized.
The numbers are ridiculous. 222 M transfer + 150 M salary over 5 years + cca. 65 M to father as agent's fee + cca. 160 M taxes for PSG. Total, around 600 MILLION EURO for a football player. Insane doesn't even describe this.
God forbid! âšī¸
I hope that day never comes. And I also hope Messi does not play after his athletic prowess has declined a la Michael Jordan with the Washington Wizards.
Clearly the PSG club owners are betting the house
the good news is the French authorities will reap big tax revenue from Neymar coming to France.

Niiiice news !!
This picture of the 6-1 will break my heart for a couple of years... :/ Hope we will see the semi finals with Neymar Jr now ahah
Good luck!
maybe it is time for someone else to win the Champions League besides Barcelona, Bayern Munich, & Real Madrid. Though I would still pull for Barcelona.
Just another example for...
... how insane today's world is. 220 million! This has nothing to do with the beauty of the game, imho. Cheers Henrik
The Guardian had a good article from a political perspective about the Neymar soap opera
the game has changed since I started following in the early 2000s. the money is madness.
indeed
this world has lost its perspective. 220m for a footballer, 11m for a used watch, while children starve...
Happy
Hi, i followed up all this story with attention.... IMHO, i didn't like the Neymar option, in agree with brazilian Sport TV commentaries, It was one sh#t... Barcelona is too many football as PSG. But the history details is good too many. Neymar have his h...
What happened to FFP, financial fair play?
Mr Platini introduced an important rule to reduce excessive debts for clubs. You can pay as much as you earn, the policy worked very well....so far. This trade has no financial sustainability, if it wasn't for the club's owner it would have never been pos...
As I've read Barca is a loser in this soap opera
because not only did they lose Neymar but any player that they target to buy (Dybala or Mbappe or Dembele or Coutinho) will cost much more than they are worth because the selling club knows that Barca has a 220+ million war chest. Yes not great overall fo...
PSG owner says that FFP has been respected.
How could it not be? He'll have a legion of lawyers and fiscal accountants, so no surprises when laws weaknesses are exploited for your own convenience. When you, the owner, pay 200 million/year as sponsorship to your own club, it's easy to realize how FF...
Yes it is a farce
so let's see if it drives UEFA to make the rules stronger. The problem is money talks and trumps over ethics too often. I will be excited to see how the competitive leagues do this year. It has been La Liga (RM & Barca), Bundesliga (Bayern), and Serie A (...
FFP us just for show
Like in animal farm All animals are equal But Some are more equal than others Cheers PAt
