FC Barcelona Finances

[KingLeo10]

Jamdav peaking just in time for the CL, folks.

Which in no way means they were lying about instalments.

It is just them trying to twist the way the fee was paid to ease Ronaldos ego.

Does not mean they were lying and no one has come out since to dispute it.

Which doesn't make their statement any more true. If you assume Guardian were lied to about the one-off, there's no reason to believe what Perez said is true either. Anyone can be lying. Only actual documentation can categorically prove their claim. And they provided no reference to anything.

We can go in circles about this. If you're just going to take the most recent report as a truth then I'll come back in 2 days with a fresh one from an undisclosed source.

Not claiming the Guardian were lied to anymore than press were lied to in Suarez or Bale deals that also later were found to be paid in instalments.

I have not quoted anything from Perez.

So you can claim you dont know how the fee was paid as press conflicting and no contract I will go with Marca on it.

Easy.

Paying in instalments makes a lot of sense. Otherwise you need 200mil liquid cash all the time. Not smart really. Money should be making more money.

It's obvious he is ignorant but now he is trolling.

LaLiga of professional football made public on the morning of this Thursday the figures of the salary cost limit of sports staff of each club of First and Second Division. A limit that figures the allowed expenditure that each club or Sports Public Limited Company has and that includes the expenditure on players, first coach, second coach and physical trainer of the first team.

This limit also includes the expense in subsidiaries, quarry and other sections that, indirectly, also affects the amount of expenditure that each club can undertake in the transfer market. Thus, according to data provided by LaLiga, the podium of the highest category of Spanish football is first formed by FC Barcelona with 656. 429 million euros of staff cost limit, which is reduced by 15 million compared to the start of this season when it registered a limit of 671,429, Real Madrid with 641,049 million, which remains at the same figure and Atlético de Madrid with, practically, half of the previous two, 348,500 million euros and that does not reflect changes Regarding the beginning of the course.

And here I stand corrected.

The limits are intriguing. Barca's has gone down a wee bit meaning the % of wages paid with respect to the available limit could be even higher this year unless they've gone down as well since Coutinho is out on loan. But will be interesting to see what happens if you can't shift him. Gotta keep vigilant.

It is simple, we sell him at a great loss.

Honestly I have no idea why folks were freaking out over us paying for players we bought in installments... Common practice.

It isn't as simple if he doesn't fancy a paycut.

I don't quite understand this. Does this La Liga salary cap and a reduction on our staff cost by 15m mean that we need to slash our staff cost by 15m from the 18/19 level? Or 19/20 level?

If what I am interpreting is true (probably not), that means we will have little to no wage room left for new players we want to buy (such as Lautaro Martinez) and contract renewal (such as Messi's) unless we offload several big wage earners such as Coutinho and Dembele?

 

[Luftstalag14]

True but I think he'd rather play than rotting on our bench. The man has pride, plus he is not that old.

 

[DonAK]

He'll go to PSG and replace Neymar.

Depends if the right offer comes in. If he's earning £200k weekly at 27 it's not so likely to drop it to 125-150 to become a top earner in smaller team, because he would only really get a raise at 29-30 and only if he's extraordinary. Only top6 English sides and several top2-3 sides in other countries would take on this kind of gamble and not many play or have space for CAM/LCAM.

PSG is probably the most likely option.
