DonAK
President of FC Barcelona
You were not very clear.
The club pays the tax so if he is getting 10m BEFORE tax it reads as then tax paid on top.
Sport tend to be full of shit, but they reported 5m net and he's on 10m net in Brazil.
He's not going to earn peanuts at Barca either way. No player would leave that 10m net salary to earn 2m or around that.
Spanish press just report it in net compared to German and presumably English media who report it before tax.
Tax rate in Catalunya is close to 50% for income over a certain amount.
The club doesn't pay the tax. When the players receive their salary, taxes are already deducted.
