Google is ambiguous on this, but apparently high earners pay 75% tax in France.

Fact of fiction?


PSG owners will pay his taxes, if he signs a contract stating he will earn 300k a week then you best believe he WILL earn 300k a week.
 
We've been out of the race for a while. I'm pretty sure we were only being used to increase De Ligt's salary at Bara, but now that role has been replaced by PSG.

Did you just not see that last comments! I didn’t see Raiola denying our interest.
 
I’m still intrigued to know how Barca are going to fund this DeLigt move and Griezmann.

I think it might be time to unzip again and prepare myself. DeLigt is back on.
 
Was Raiola’s ban not just lifted today?

He probably shouldn’t have been speaking to PSG when he was, and is just trying to cover his arse.

Here is Barca coming out to cry wolf about how De Ligt is not going to join them. Raiola-coaster is still going strong, at least for another 2 weeks I feel.

That said, he does have a point. UEFA and FIFA are just doing nothing with all that financial "backing" that PSG have. It's like watching the villain of a movie getting away with murder in broad daylight.

It is a little hard to feel sorry for either of the Spanish giants though, when their tv deal is so horrifically uncompetitive, and they've for years been able to bully the rest of Europe with their financial power.

I suppose other fans would say the same about us, but we've generally had nowhere near those two's pulling power.
 
I love these kind of photos. :)

Raiola was saying the same rubbish when we were pursuing Pogba. Not to add, he's supposed to have a ban, I doubt he is going to admit he was in Paris negotiating a deal.

Was he negotiating or just listening to offers out of courtesy time will tell.
 
If he chooses PSG over Barca, regardless of us, it's a pretty good sign he isn't worthy of the club's interest to begin with.

Bad enough having Raiola as your agent, but if you seriously choose the wasteland league and the flashy oil money over Barca, something is seriously off with your footballing radar.

Dont buy that. Barca are stacked at CB I dont think it makes sense for him to go there unless they sell Umtiti
 
What a waste if he joins PSG.

Wasting all that talent in a one club league where he'll only play a handful of important games a year.
 
You love racist cannibal rats touching young boys?

Suárez is a nice guy off-field, and ironically he is the one who suffers racist abuse. The Uruguayan honour and values system and how it manifests in their (street) football where he grew up is different. You do it for the "family" (the team), as does the opponent, because that's honour. Of course he's such an amateur that he failed to shake it off when having a career elsewhere where this is frowned upon, but still I feel he should bite back.

Neymar has become an after thought going there, if he went there it shows a lack of ambition, if he came to us it would be similar unfortunately :(

This is the part that is fecking me off. De Jong and Griezmann is about £170m plus De Ligt is around £75m. And they whine about City and PSG ruining football when the two La Liga clubs are blowing everyone out the water yet again. Surely neither club can pass FFP with their current spending.
 
He’s there Technical director isn’t he? Looks like he’s not going Barca then. I keep saying they are messing up this rebuild. Once Messi goes they are going to be in a Mess.

They can’t afford DeLigt if they buy Greasyman
