There is no purchase option for Marseille.
but we have always had a problem with our wages, too many of our older pros / young whizzkids on too high a wage for most non top 6 clubs to afford.We should be looking to do the same kind of thing, especially if the money is actually going to go back into the team and give us a bigger budget to work with.
Everybody knows that this club has spent a lot of money in the last few years so that means that Financial Fair Play is there so you have to respect the rules and you have to manage in the best way possible. If you have players with big salaries that normally aren’t playing then you want to find a solution and this solution will mean you have money to spend on new players. So this is something that is very common in modern football now with these restrictions so we will try to maximise what we have and manage the best way possible to be sure we can bring in quality and players that will make the squad strong.
Breaking news in the Barcelona [Griezmann-Saúl] swap!
Griezmann - Saúl is on hold, for now.
The Griezmann-Saúl swap
Barcelona do not want to pay what Saúl wants for his salary
Atletico cannot pay all of Griezmann's salary
Saúl considers better offers from other teams
Griezmann remains calm because Barcelona need him to leave
At the moment, Barcelona must amortise the remaining 72 million Euros from Griezmann's purchase (via Marc Menchén)
They prefer a swap to regain some of those millions so that they do not incur more losses (player + cash [for Griezmann]?)
So RM don't value Varane enough to give him a salary worthy of a world class player but they are going to demand a fee worthy of a world class player. Makes sense.
Barcelona have marked a red line that they are not willing to cross
Saúl should also lower his salary at Barça with respect to what he charges as an Atletico Madrid player
BVB's search for a Sancho replacement is nearing completion. PSV's Donyell Malen has been released [from pre-season training by his club] for negotiations. The [player's] trail leads to Dortmund.
Remarkable: Ajax pulled themselves out of the Sulemana transfer, who, once again, asked for a postponement of the medical, and, according to sources, demanded a starting spot. "Don't spend 16 million [Euros] on a doubter." [This] clears the way for [the player's] transfer to Rennes.
Retweeted by Gerard Romero:
No, they can't afford to pay a defender the sort of money he is after.
Come again Neil?
I checked, and it's from Neil Custis. If we consider him as reliable as Alan Nixon, then there may be something to this.Sun is in the OP
Isn't he now our PR guy? Definitely could be something in this.I checked, and it's from Neil Custis. If we consider him as reliable as Alan Nixon, then there may be something to this.
Apart from Alaba and it's also what they were paying Ramos.
That's Neil Ashton I think.Isn't he now our PR guy? Definitely could be something in this.
That's Neil Ashton, who doesn't work for The Sun anymore.Isn't he now our PR guy? Definitely could be something in this.
Maybe why Ramos left?
Alaba to replace Ramos with no transfer fee so they can off set his wages against that
He's 22, so he still has time on his side. He's not a bad player, but he'll need to improve his decision-making before he can take his game to the next level.Wasn't he meant to be a good prospect? I remember Jose being a fan of his following our Europa League win against Ajax.
The situation is now a little more complicated. The negotiations between the two clubs took place without Griezmann knowing. And the salary difference is significant. Negotiations are continuing but Barcelona must find a solution.
If Barcelona are to go fast, their leaders will have to agree to make up for the Frenchman's shortfall in [Atletico] Madrid. Barca categorically reject the idea for now, saying it would be better to keep him then. But to extend Lionel Messi, it seems unreal.
On the other hand, Barca advance with Saul Niguez. A meeting is scheduled tomorrow between the leaders and its representatives.
