Not really no, buyout fee and the fact that a number of clubs today feel they can pay it is the reason why he has the club by the balls, and he played this card already wich shows he won't play "clean" in this regard to get the wages he wants, no biggie as all players do this ... BUT, giving him the wages AND at the same time keeping the clubs balls in his hands would be the stupidest thing this board would do to date.
Buy out fee should be multiplied at least by the multiplier his wages will get, simple as that; adding 30M would be a joke.
God bless Spain and shooting themselves in a foot with release clauses.
I will believe this when I see some club really pay Neymar's clause and also give him high salary. It's basically a 400-500M investment. Don't see this happening soon.
Well you can always put a huge release clause. Just like Ronaldo has 1 billion, even players like Nacho have 100-200 M release clauses.
How can Ronaldo have 1 billion then?
Because what they are saying about wages and buyout clause is not true. Ronaldo has a 1 Billion release clause, Modrić has a £387 M release clause. Our 4th freaking CB has a release clause of something like 150 M. It's not related to wages at all. You can stump a release clause and as long as the player agrees to it it's fine. Ofc the player wants a reasonably low release clause so he can change clubs if he's willing but if the club is smart they'll negotiate a bigger clause.
There's nothing obvious, nor Messi is to blame. Barça follow the law, otherwise the club get in trouble. Or Messi's buyout would be 1 trillion, instead of 250m.This is a case where logic will be smashed to the grounds, Messi dragged through the mud without him saying or doing anything ... to avoid the most obvious and painful explanation, the Neyclan wants to keep their options open and leverage for future negociations, while getting the wage they want.. basically concede nothing, get everything.
Simple, as, that.
EDIT : Yep, just checked, Modric has a 500M€ buyout, VS approximately 8M€ wage pretax ... Neymar will earn at least 3x that with his new contract, so buyout can be $1B without a shadow of an issue with LFP.
