You're funny.
1) You're not paying anyone 60M transfer fee.
2) You tell James Rodriguez, he'd earn that much and he'll smile at you.
3) Alisson, a keeper, is earning 6M base. Kepa, a YOUNGER keeper, is earning a 'rumored' 10M base (even if that's not true, it's in the range of 7-10).
And you're projecting some silly statements that never came out of my mouth. It's perfectly natural for a guy like Rabiot to try and hike his salary up given what his peers earn. And it'd be equally ridiculous if you actually gave it to him. It's in his interest to play for Barcelona, not the other way around. If you give him anything more than you did Dembele it'd be quite a farce. That said you can't give him much less either. That's the problem with the way your wage ladder works.
Useless to even bring up anyone from CKM into this conversation.
Funny? funny how? I mean, what’s funny about it?
He is not worth 60m since he is in the last year of his contract with PSG.
Leaving on a free transfer should give him leverage on a salary of course. He is not worth more than 5m under normal circumstances, so the leverage he has should make it maybe 6m, NOT 10 to 13m that he and his mother are demanding. Sorry, this is not the way things work in a proper run club.
Funny that you avoided talking about your own club and brought examples from other clubs. Perez motto is no player bigger than the club and didn't bend over for Di Maria, James, and the mighty Ronaldo. James earns 6.5m in Bayern and earned less in Real not sure why even his name mentioned here, he was shipped away because he demanded more playing time. Rabiot is asking for a guaranteed starting role, how much more are we going to bend over for him?
About Dembele he earns 11m, I'm a fan but the whole deal was mismanaged and it was under difficult circumstances what we call it a panic buy. Barcelona was desperate to sign him after Neymar's fiasco.
Like you said It's in his interest to play for Barcelona, not the other way around so why we are paying him a salary of a world class player?
