Are you sure about that? I'd be interested in seeing a source. Capology says he makes £209k per week GROSS, and any articles on his extension don't mention a net/gross distinction.He makes 11m euros NET of taxes, for this and the next season at Napoli. That's ~300k a week to match for an english club
Though it should be noted he'd agreed a paycut to join PSG, but the latter never made Napoli an offer after the 200m for him+Kvara and were evidently far more interested in the latter
in Italy it's always been reported as 10/11 net of taxes. And Osimhen's contract does still take advantage of favourable taxation, since it was signed and registered before the law in question was abolishedAre you sure about that? I'd be interested in seeing a source. Capology says he makes £209k per week GROSS, and any articles on his extension don't mention a net/gross distinction.
Worth noting, Italy has repealed the favorable taxation for foreign footballers. It no longer applies if that's what you're referring to.
In raw absolute terms perhaps but Napoli also won the league in no small part thanks to his contribution and at least a decent CL run. For sure they probably hoped to shift him for good money.It's been kind of forgotten that Napoli paid Lille €70 million plus add-ons of up to €10 million for him, despite Lille only paying €12 million for him a year earlier.
The €65 million they've been trying to flog him for represents a loss on him. And yet they still couldn't shift him.
It wouldn’t have been a loss accounting wise though. They bought him four years ago so the majority of the price they paid has been amortized.It's been kind of forgotten that Napoli paid Lille €70 million plus add-ons of up to €10 million for him, despite Lille only paying €12 million for him a year earlier.

Napoli priced him out of his move last season. Nothing to do with asking for high wagesOne of those where it really hammers in "take your transfer when you have the chance". From one of the most sought after strikers to now being excluded from registration in a year? Of course he'd still be wanted but he must have just been too demanding wages wise, and this is what happens.

It was a big fee but slightly dodgy and inflated — in return Lille paid around €20m for four players; three youth kids who were instantly loaned into Serie C/D and a 35 year old keeper.It's been kind of forgotten that Napoli paid Lille €70 million plus add-ons of up to €10 million for him, despite Lille only paying €12 million for him a year earlier.

What do you think the Chelsea offer was?and, the Chelsea offer was a joke.
We'll probably sign him in Jan when we are in 8th place and he hasn't kicked a ball for months.he and his agent clearly over played their hand and he's going to sit on his arse now for 5 months doing feck all
£8m including(!) bonuses is less than what people on Bayern’s bench make. I completely understand how that offer (if true) can be labeled as insulting.What do you think the Chelsea offer was?
I'm not trying to catch you out, I saw that it was £8mil a year inc performance based stuff but obviously that might be wrong.

Certainly more reliable than nothing. and usually directionally close. That's why I asked for a source anyway.Capology is not a reliable source. I have no idea why anyone treats it as such.
Two wrongs don’t make a right. Paying Gnabry, Goretzka, Coman €17m is stupid.Bayern pay crazy money though. You've got multiple people on over 300K a week.
He's on 300K a week at Napoli? Jesus Christ.Two wrongs don’t make a right. Paying Gnabry, Goretzka, €17m is stupid.
Offering a 25yo Osimhen that is on 300k pw and playing the most requested position in football a £4m + £4m in add-ons contract is pathetic, if true.
€10/11m net.He's on 300K a week at Napoli? Jesus Christ.
But is it so relevant? If there are no takers at this salary, then perhaps his “fair salary” is lower than that.€10/11m net.
Yes, but there is a (very big!) gap between 300k pw and Chelsea’s alleged 4m+4m offer.But is it so relevant? If there are no takers at this salary, then perhaps his “fair salary” is lower than that.
He's not, because of favourable taxation. But an english club would have to pay him that for him not to lose money. He's on around 14m euros a year. But again, PSG were ok paying him that(14 gross) and he was fine taking the paycut for them. He just wasn't keen on Chelsea earlier on, and then your offer was frankly ridiculous compared to what he makes.He's on 300K a week at Napoli? Jesus Christ.
I read he is on 11m euros at Napoli. Chelsea offered him 4m guaranteed and another 4m based on CL qualification/goalsWhat do you think the Chelsea offer was?
I'm not trying to catch you out, I saw that it was £8mil a year inc performance based stuff but obviously that might be wrong.
That €11m at Napoli is net. As @giorno stated above, it corresponds to £300k pw gross in England.I read he is on 11m euros at Napoli. Chelsea offered him 4m guaranteed and another 4m based on CL qualification/goals
the guaranteed was less than 40% of what he is on and even with all bonuses, it was well under his current wages.
He'd win Arsenal the league, so there's that at least.
No sympathy for this overhyped scrub.
Your offer was a joke mate and he didn’t want to play for Chelsea in the first place.Bayern pay crazy money though. You've got multiple people on over 300K a week.

he didnt sign for you after you sent a delegate to Napoli for over 3 days. His agent said publicly he would not join you on loan weeks ago."I never fancied her anyway".
Cheeky bid in January seems the way to go?

You thought you could take advantage of the situation which is fair enough. But it didnt work
Greedy ha. Good luck with Jackson and good luck finding a top striker for 90k a weekIf he didn't want to play for Chelsea, he would not have wasted his time negotiating. He'd have said "I don't want to play for Chelsea".
He fecked around, was greedy and now he's cleaning Lukaku's boots for 6 months.
