Sport witness says:

Looked into the tax issue with buyout clauses again recently because there's always different answers and claims. This time it was Felipe

and the potential move to Chelsea, paying a clause. The tax rates then were Madrid specific but can't see it being much different in Bilbao.

A club has to persuade the tax authorities that the money given to a player isn't income because he pays the exact same out = no tax.

If they can't do that then the player is seen as a 'carrier' of the money, an agent if you like. Tax = 7%.

In worst scenario, and probably not realistic with the advice clubs get these days, the amount could be seen as normal income. Tax = 50%+

Quite sure Manchester United will know what they're doing with that and it won't stop a deal happening.

"Flooding in Recife getting worse. Has to be a danger many won't get to the stadium in time. No idea about pitch pic.twitter.com/ZmQLKQhkMM"

Will the game be postponed, does that mean Ghana v Portugal has to be postponed too?
 
Hopefully it doesn't get called off, I'm looking forward to it.
 
Are they going to postpone the Portugal-Ghana game as well then?
