Isnt there some form of big tax incentive for footballers in Italy atm? Whilst i still cant see this happening for a number of reasons, it would make the link certainly more plausible if Roma could pay him top money wage wise.
25 million is a steal, you'll get 3 more good years out if him.
Suprised none of the top clubs in Europe aren't biting even if they don't particularly need a CB as he'll likely be better than what they have anyway
Is it though? £25m over 36 months is £694,444.44 per month. Before his wages, with no resale value (even if he is still mustard at 33 odds are he would leave on a free to go to Ajax.)
He is on what at the moment 100k per week so you are paying over £1,000,000.00 a month for him. He is a great defender but marketing wise not exactly an Mbappe, Salah, Messi, Son... how many of our own fans do you see with his name on their shirt?
Now factor in that next year he can walk for nothing at 31 you save a chunk of money...to me he doesn't seem like the best deal when you look at it that way.
In fact here is a video explaining exactly what i meant:
No Champions League football either, it's such an odd move (if it happens)This Roma link doesn't feel right. Will they pay him loads more than what we offered him? Somehow I can't see it. Are they bigger than us? I would imagine he'd reject them and wait a few months where he will have more control and greater opportunity to earn more. Let's see how this one ends up. I'd love for him to stay at least one more season.
What’s there to negotiate? Pay the release clause ...
Really want him to stay and sign a new contract too.... but.... if he goes anywhere, then I’ll be very happy with Roma! Can’t bear the thought of seeing him in the Prem.
