On his last day he leaves for free (so gets top dollar at his next club), but also gets some ludicrous €150m or so loyalty bonus. Talk about having his cake and eating it.

PSG gave him €250m to stay for two years. Presumably they thought that would be enough to win the CL. Now he's off to the club he wanted to join two years ago. What's crazy is they paid that price to keep him only to see him leave for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupidest deal in history, guaranteed they wouldn’t get a transfer fee for the most valuable player on the planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonesy7211 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 He's on £3.3 million a week, £170million a year. He's either going to get a bigger short term contract at PSG, which normally happens every summer, or he's off the Real Madrid. Be interesting to see the salary he gets there, as for all the stars they have they don't pay Saudi wages. Toni Kroos is their highest paid player on just under £500k a week (still a lot, but it's not as much as they pay in the Saudi league). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 in the naïve dream world where he's earned his fortune and could now happily go play anywhere he wants for a fraction of the wage... kroos is off this summer isn't he? and modric I think so that probably frees up £700-800k a week in wages but id say the scariest thing would probably be more the signing bonus and image right stuff, he's a nike athlete so they cant do a special adidas range or anything like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderPower_14 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 This should be a recruitment war for the ages, but he'll go to Madrid because nobody else can afford him due to FFP. It's a shame, it'd be great to have him in the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City cheating themselves to another superstar just as bad. Chelsea, Manure, Spurs or Arsenal getting him would sickening too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously those days are long gone but I rather Real or even PSG wins the CL than any English side apart from Villa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Let him go and take his circus to Saudi. He’s a great player but the way his previous contracts have been and the power away he has leave a nasty taste for me. Not been good enough to lift PSG to European success.

Just as I'd have loved to have had Messi in the league and there's no way he'd have played for Villa either.

Yeah it'd be great to strengthen our rivals with the best players in the world that we can't afford. Bizarre line of thinking if I'm honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
