Do you honestly see us doing that
Cheeky as hell that, if that was the case. Why should we essentially pay a player for time he spent playing for another European giant?
What a waste of time reading or posting in this thread.
Everything is based on rumour, speculation and the opinions of journo's and ITK's.
ETH wants FDJ and sees him as a key addition to the squad - speculation
Utd have negotiated and agreed a basic fee with Barcelona - speculation and rumour
Barca definitely need to sell - speculation based other financial situation
FDJ doesn't want to leave Barca - fact, he's said so to the press
Xavi wants him to stay - fact, he said so to the press
Laporta repeats he's not for sale (even if that's bluffing) - fact, as seen in last weeks interview
Romano doing a tail spin and changing the narrative ?
All I've learned from this thread is that 2 + 2 = 6 , because there's an extra hidden 2 somewhere between the lines and your daft if you can't see it !

I am not an expert on this but us agreeing to take on all or a significant portion of his deferred wage would be quite a bit more valuable to them (in terms of salary cap) than random competition-based variables.
They are most likely trying to get as much as they possibly can and we are most likely and rightly trying to pay as little as possible, hence the drawn-out negotiations.
What a waste of time posting in this thread.

What difference does it make to us if the add ons portion of the deal are covering his wages. It seems to be fairly important to them though.
What a clown
In the past absolutely, we paid Sanchez to play for Inter
confirmation that they can't register Kessie and Christensen for the league yet.
so, there'll simply have to be movement with this transfer soon. Barcelona can't do shite without the money.

No what they need to do is sell the remaining 15% of TV rights, which probably then allows them a better bargaining position with United on the addons
Also I think its already been pointed out that its better for them to wait for this to happen prior to the sale, so they can actually use the funds from the transfer. If not then they can't use all of the funds
It's amazing how every summer seems to have its own buzzword. Economic levers, generational talent, etc
At that point, they can sign players but still can't register them though as far as I'm aware. Makes little difference really.
Dearie me, what a mess to get in! They have to be one of the worst run clubs in the world financially. Offering these terms and bonuses knowing that you might struggle to pay them.
I'd imagine that he tracks everytime there is a flight from London to Barcelona
You'll have a hangover tomorrow!
Also to multiple players.
Griezmann was arguably the worst one. As they paid the release clause it was paid on one up-front installment then agreed to pay him 600k a week
I believe that is incorrect
He needs to step his game up and get a livestream direct from the terminal exit doors.
Honestly I think this point is massively overplayed. I know we've been burnt before with Di Maria who probably didn't want to come but I see this differently for FDJ.
While I agree he would probably prefer to stay at Barcelona the reality seems to be that they are open and would probably prefer him to leave for financial reasons.
Even though FDJ may prefer to stay at Barca I would expect ETH to know him well enough on a personal level to know if moving would impact his level of dedication or performance. Also players have professional pride so I'm sure he would try his best regardless of if he had to make a move he'd prefer not to make. Also consider he will more than likely have some dutch compatriots to help him settle in and you'd imagine mutual respect between him and ETH to want to do well.
PSG back in the day basically forced Barca to offer him a contract they can’t afford.
"there is a flight from London"
These cancellations are crazy
These cancellations are crazy
Yes sorry, you are correct. I forgot how the salary margin works.
Yet they still want to sign Raphinha and Lewansowski... Good job Barca
True, even then they needed the help of Nike to pay it

Not quite sure why you quoted that here
Marca published the details of his contract with barcelona and because of the deferred payments he's about to become WAY too expensive for them to keep(upwards of 20M € a year in wages)
Due to the way the Spanish FFP works when they activate their second economical lever they would be able to register them and also other incoming players.
Yes but they’re lowering wages to under 10m or something stupid. So instead of spending 20m on one player they can spend 10m on two.
It’s the Jason McAteer pizza story all over again.
But what happens if they can't activate that lever until after the window closes?
They can't sign anyone or register anyone.
But they'd still owe the deferred payment, if they sell him or not
They lose their leverage.
Leeds comes to mindIf Barca were a British club, they'd be Leverpool.
I imagine they'd try to either forgo or reduce those payments. Either way it's like 15M they owe him over the last 2 seasons in deferred payments, significantly less than the 21, 27, 18, 23 millions they owe him over the remaining years of contract
I wouldn't be surprised if he keeps saying he wants to stay so that they don't try and cheat him out of the loyalty bonus. They are already continually trying to alter narratives around him and this transfer and I am sure a few players have had issues with the payments owed by Barca and the club trying to paint players as being disloyal for not renouncing wages, etc. Mes que un club!
Cope... Aptly named
