Doesn't look like a good contract. Short term it doesn't even get us to 1:1, long term it's too long of a contract that will get eaten by inflation and new deals that other top clubs will get in a few years while we'll be tied with this contract. No significant renegotiations will happen in the next 10 years, maybe some tweaks but this is the contract.

We should wait until 2026 when CN fully opens, maybe we'll have some success in those two seasons until then. It's stupid to negotiate this contract now when we are at an all time low with no CN, bad results in the previous years and bad financial situation of the club. It's the same as the levers, Laporta only cares about short term gains but even short term it doesn't get us to 1:1 because his shananigans with Barca Studios lever.
Only one here that knows business

Lamine is the best player in the world and will go on to win multiple trophies for the club as well as multiple Ballon Dors. But he is going to come up for criticism for his eventual wages because, just like with Leo, that will be the only stick left to beat with him.

And some people are only happy if they are beating their stick. The rest of us civilised folk will just have to put up with it, as we did with Leo, I guess.

True, all they talk about the wages, but not about the revenue they bring in.

What people are forgetting when comparing it to Madrid's deal is that their deal includes their merchandising and ours does not. Barca is estimating around 200m in revenues from BLM in 2026, which, as a rough estimate, would add another 40m a year or so on top.

That indeed would make our deal superior.
Saw this on Twitter, please quote this dumbfuckers. The issue is nobody sane in their head will do a contract for 14 years at a fix price. That's what the dumb journalists say. Others say the sum will rise.

Anyway, the point is inflation. If China invades Taiwan or the bedouins do something or Putin releases the tapes on Dumb governor of the US oblast, you are fucked beyond repair regardless if we talk 120 or 145 per year.

Yamal's contract - we must be very, very careful. If his demands are crazy - we have to show him the door. No player should be above the club.
That is never happening. You don't know what you are talking about. He'll bring to the club much more than he'll take for himself.

There was a comment about how football inflation might stagnate. Of course 14 years ago transfer fees were very different, but there are doubts fees will be increasing from now with FFP getting stricter. Think fees will very rarely surpass 100m. Also the trend of players running out their contracts more often.
You are 6 years late, stop reading idiots. The fees go directly to players for bonuses or god knows what charitable or sponsorship.

FFP isn't getting stricter, the Bedouins made the investments already and they expect their returns for now.
You was so close in the last bit.
There are 2 Bedouin clubs that afford 120 mil plus transfers, 3 clubs (Real, Bayern, Barcelona) and 3 companies (United, Chelsea and Liverpool), Atletico maybe. Most of them already made big trasfers and there is little on the market to splash for.

The transkemarket dropped 2 billions this year to be fair, but it dropped also from 2019 to 2021, and nevertheless it's x 2 the value of 2015, that follows the value of the football market who fallows the growth in global population and in inovation of the industry. More hamburgers = more expensive jerseys or much more sold.

To end this nonsense, for football to go that path of stagnation you will need the whole economy to stagnate and that is absolute bollocks if the Huti don't start producing ships out of their ass.
Even then with a collapse of the trade you will get first 1000x inflation rate before you get a stagnation so Nike will win anyway.

Anyway since Barcelona has millions of fans in the second or third world, the contract with Nike or any fancy brand is making Barcelona get less money from their brand.

Producing a Barcelona jersey in Zimbabwe by bababung will sell more well than a Nike costing a kidney. Barcelona is missing a lot due to a black market and needs a brand of it's own for shirts in my opinion. A brand produced locally worldwide with local prices will get Barcelona lots of money.
I will keep Nike as sponsor at best

Real Madrid didn't lose revenue even after Ronaldo left. Stop this nonsense.

So, the fiscal year for soccer teams starts on July 1.

Real Madrid's revenue in Ronaldo's last season (2017-2018) was 751 million euros. Let me remind you that they won the Champions League that year.

Real Madrid's revenue in the 2018-2019 season is 757 million euros. Let me remind you that it was one of Real Madrid's worst seasons from a sporting point of view.

Compare the scale of media exposure between that Ronaldo and the current Yamal. With all due respect to Yamal, it's like comparing an elephant to a fly.

So stop using these bullshit arguments. You fans are mostly dumb sheep with short memories. Because of pressure from idiots like you, presidents are forced to agree to crazy financial demands from players because they fear the wrath of idiots like you.

Although there are exceptions - Don Florentino, who doesn't care about the opinion of idiots like you - if he sees a player behaving arrogantly in a financial matter - he kicks him the fuck out.

That's why Real Madrid have a new stadium and a great financial position.

Shut up buddy. You suggest kicking out by far the most talented young footballer on the world because he asks for a big salary, and you call somebody an idiot. No he is not nearly as big of a superstar right now as Ronaldo was in Real Madrid, nobody even claimed that. But considering his talent, huge chances it will likely be the case in a few years time.

He won't ask for 15 bilion dude. Nothing less than what the biggest clubs usually pay for their most valuable players probably. You're making a problem out of nowhere, then exaggerating it and providing clearly braindead solutions.
