Has Icardi not signed for 50m and bonuses on a four year contract?
That would be amortized down at 12.5m a season before the bonuses and before his salary. Why would it be counted as five years? What did PSG pay to to Inter to take him on loan?
Cavani would have had around 4m amortized value no longer having to be taken into account.
Think I get it now.... Icardi directly will cost more in terms of FFP than Cavani did but PSG more or less save on not having another striker on loan but not sure it is 6m saved.
Icardi is the same case as Mbapp? : first year of contract is a loan with 4 more years after the option is to buy is exercised by PSG. Effectively, it is a 5 year contract for FFP. Note that Icardi contract situation has been sorted before the next financial year.
FP takes into account the amortized fee but also the wages. Cavani and Thiago Silva leaving are 36,4 M less, in wage alone, as charges annually for FFP. The same cost as a player with 130 M (26 M/year) transfer fee and 10 M salary.
