Neymar

I am loving this. The old guard panicking. FFP blown out the water. The conspirators and cheats get their comeuppance . And City sitting pretty. Oh, happy days. Well done PSG!
 
If PSG gave Neymar the money to buy himself out, won't he have to pay tax on it - it's either a gift, or a salary or a bonus or whatever. In which case, won't they have had to give him £300m+ to pay the tax bill?

Not any more, the tax administration in Spain has ruled that the payment from the club on behalf of the player is now no longer considered income but a capital gain for the player. That difference is very important because now when a player fills in his personal income tax, he can point to this capital gain as a loss because he paid the money to his former club. You can not offset as a salary as a loss, but you can if it’s defined as a capital gain. But he need to pay vat.
 
Gutted. Wish it had been us that signed him.

Would make the money back in merchandising, sponsors and advertising, plus instantly make every fan and rival club sit up and realise we are top dogs. Fucking PSG, shite league, he may as well have gone to China.

Hopefully we go for Mbappe or somehow convince Wenger to let Sanchez go.
 
Wonder how long this will remain the world record. There was a decent amount of time between Ronaldo to Bale and then Pogba
 
What a bunch of amateurs Barça are, they've just let their future walk out for a measly 222 million euros.
 
There was me thinking WE were pissing off UEFA... PSG's owners have paid Neymar to buy out his own contract. The ultimate fuck you to UEFA and one that even we will never match!! Well done PSG and their owners. No messing about.
 
PSG have finally arrived at the top table, our turn now. Mbappe please. :)

While it would be a good signing I don't see paying over a hundred million for a player with only one full season behind him as arriving at the top table.
