when he signed it was reported only the 10M net
I don't know, 10m net vs. 13m net, not too wild.
Didn't he look for something around 29m gross to extend with Bayern initially?

Barca has the pull.
I don't understand how or why, but our pull is insane. We're pulling players left, right, and centre.
He always celebrates like that.
Likes to get away from his teammates and do the hand gesture solo.
That's typical of RL9!!
That's good. Need an ice cold talisman like that who isn't going to gush over an assist against low level opposition. Barca's goal is to win titles, not win big against some Czech team.
None of that happy-go-lucky, aw-shucks routine anymore.

never heard of that, hell he claims an extension was never even negotiated; really doubt Bayern would give him more money at 34 compared to what he was earning before
What does that gesture signify?
I don't mind some fun and entertainment but most player celebrations are cheesy and cringe. The worst one is Griezmann's fortnite dance. I think Auba is quite creative with his celebrations, the ones he did with Reus while at dortmund were pretty cool.
If the benefactor is being constantly ignored by the beneficiary, the chances are that the former will soon start doing the same. In team sports, any form of player acknowledgment goes a long way in fostering teambuilding and goodwill. But I'm not a sport psychologist so what do I know. I have always been accustomed to watching some of this team's best players exhibit a sense of magnamity towards each other. Its just how I like my football. But I don't expect others to feel the same, and I can live with that even if I don't necessarily endorse it.
If I can understand as a Liverpool fan who's not fond of Barca, surely you can?

[MENTION=29985]topt[/MENTION] you regretting letting him go? Or do you think Bayern are stronger now?
You'll have your answer next Tuesday. You going to root for us or Bayern?
Saw it on Twitter that apparently they call him Lewandisney because he celebrates like a Disney Prince even after scoring the simplest of "Micky Mouse goals" and stuff like that.
About the celebration, RL9's daughter used to do it and hold hands like that when she was 2 so that stuck with him.
I don't see how that celebration is cringe though. It's fairly simple yet effective. Gives him a trademark vibe.
Don't expect humble celebrations from him. He loves the limelight on the pitch. Just how he is.

Thanks for the explanation. It's refreshing to see that despite being the biggest RL fan on board, you could respond to my critique with a sense of decorum, that which has become an endangered virtue on this forum.
And I didn't say RL's gesture is particularly cringe but was rather commenting on player celebrations in general terms.
