Radamel Falcao
- Thread starter Messi brentmister general
- Start date
The guy who bought Monaco is really smart. Club is in the French League which is the 3rd or 4th biggest. PSG already built a good profile with star players so there's a good match up that would have international interest. And Monaco has no income tax so that pretty much cuts any wage bill in half. That's a huge competitive advantage.

why cant Falcao move straight to Real? do both Madrid clubs have an agreement to not transfer players to eachother or something?

Atletico will not negotiate with Madrid and there's also an extra buyout clause that is specific to Real that is an extra 20 million on the normal one, meaning Madrid would have to pay 60m to get him. That's my understanding of it anyway, I could be wrong.

So theoretically it could be
This summer: Falcao goes to Monaco for 60m
Winter: Monaco sells Falcao to Real Madrid for 65-70m
Falcao becomes a free man, Atletico get paid without having to negotiate with Real, Real save about 10-15 million, Monaco get half a season with one of the best strikers in the world to bring them points and exposure, and Falcao is not cup tied so he can play for Real in the Champions League.
It just seems like a lot of extenuating circumstances. My fear is Falcao wasting away 2 or 3 more years without Champions League football when he's already 27.

There will be serious talks this summer about Monaco's football club taxes though; Taxes on player's wages vary from 50% to 75% in France, the advantage would be inadmissible.

Ye there's talk of them having to pay the league 200m if they want to continue their current tax status.
If the offer is less than 60M then Atletico and the 3rd party owners both need to agree to that fee. Falcao then needs to agree a contract with the buying club. In other words you need agreement from all 4 parties.
If the offer is 60M then that activates the release clause and Atletico and the 3rd party owners have no say, it's then up to Falcao to agree a contract. In other words you only need agreement from 2 parties(Falcao and the buying club)
Of course Falcao has his personal sponsors, and they will have some influence on what club he signs for. But that is limited, since if a sponsor don't like his choice all they can do is cancel his contract. But at that point he can look for a different sponsor.

They are probably going to court ,and I think Monaco would win it tbh
This ,Also it makes players transfers way too high tbh and way too complicated
