It means he is earning more than his current contract 
I mean considering he will only be playing first team football for 2 of those seasons and a max of 3. Then you got 7 years still paying with the the assumption that he can generate more in marketing for the club.
Well maybe we can. But ideally we offer him 2 years + 1 based off of his sporting merit AND THEN we negotiate superately a marketing and brand collaboration afterwards.
IF true, haven't we learned nothing from the pandemic and not making big long contracts.
