Yeah very stupid, i know he is messi and all but we need to sign the right player too if we want to compete.
Exactly, we need some kind of stability regarding wages. 20m. net a year is already the best salary in football probably. 50m. signing bonus is just stupid and is affecting our power on the transfer market. That's more than half the sum we might pay for a future Ballon d'Or winner like Dembele.
Our wages need to be sorted out. We're behind Madrid in the last 2 seasons, so our wages should not be higher than theirs. On par sounds about right. Messi should have a slightly higher salary than Ronaldo, but that's it.
If he wants more and more money as he gets older, that's a problem for us as a club.
Never heard of a 50m. signing bonus before. That's a first and it's outrageous. It could be bullshit though.
