RoystonFoote'snephew Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Sky sports is reporting that if the Neymar transfer goes through it will cost PSG £352 million (£196 million in fees and £156 million in salary). Football has gone nuts. God knows how this is feasible under Financial Fair Play, although we know FFP is a joke at the higher levels of the game.

eastonboy Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 It's because they are essentially owned by Qatar. Funnily enough I was just reading the following article http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40690701 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elite football in Europe ( and England to an extent )is now basically run with the money from the Middle East oil countries, add in some rich Russians etc. The biggest surprise to me,is that people were/are still surprised that Qatar got the 2022 World Cup!, why wouldn't they when their money controls all these top clubs. The Champions League is a classic case, I guarantee that most of the 8 clubs in the Quarter finals this season will be sponsored by Qatar and Emirates airlines. Man City are paying hundreds of millions in transfers, all Qatar money, and frankly I'm more astounded with them paying 45 million for Kyle Walker than I am about the Naymar transfer fee!! Come on, Kyle Walker 45 million seriously!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Yeah, walker is a decent player, but not worth half of that. Thats a large fee for a fullback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAman08 Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 It's costly but I don't know how much revenue they bring in. Rumour has it that it would be a 6 year contract. Roughly 26m per season in salary. I would expect an upfront payment of 100m so would cost the club 126m just this year for Neymar. After that, however, the remaining 5 years would make it 5 annual payments of just over 19m plus his 26m in salary so about 45m per season. So while I agree it's mad, it's probably doable even with ffp. Could Neymar take them over the top to win a champions league? Debatable as they can compete with anyone but it was their defense that cost them last season, not their attack. I know many of you think this can't go on but I don't think it'll go away anytime soon. TV money will only grow for the foreseeable future as less people have time to commit to going to matches and as technology gets better. Pretty soon we'll be watching it with those virtual reality things you put over your eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZiderEyed Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 The only hope I have any more is the constant murmuring of a European Elite League. That would save English football, or at least stop the damage being done any further. If Man United and Chelsea **** off and play Wolfsburg and Valencia on a Saturday, we might get a little bit of the soul back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sooner the whole bubble bursts, the better. Doesn't look like it's happening any time soon though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambodinho Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Clearly some of you guys don't follow American Sports. James Harden will earn $228m between 2019 - 2023.

Mr Popodopolous Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Scenario here. I read that article, and interesting though it is surely all Barcelona need to do is call PSG's bluff by insisting on the whole fee paid up front, paid in one instalment. If PSG can't afford...they don't get. If they can or think they can- they breach FFP and should be excluded from European competition I would have thought. Sanctions were applied to them in 2014 so the next level up could surely be exclusion? I know they are owned by Qatar but UEFA do on paper have the power to class workarounds as illegitimate- they did it a bit in 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
