Part of the £198m that psg paid, cover his loyalty bonuses mate. If you take the bonus payments out, the transfer fee is lower. Agents have done this for years.
Its fact mate. Been around football for 30yrs. I know it sounds mental, and it is, but that’s the way it works. We were paying 3 managers at the same time in the late 80s early 90s.That's you saying that, not what the court said.
A signing on fee that Zin mentions, I can see, if that is spread over the contract it makes sense the player gets the remainder of that when he leaves. But as I understand it a transfer request only forsakes the loyalty bonus. And that, with other performance bonuses, stop anyway when his contract ends with his move elsewhere.

Anyway Cucca has done his bit, I think we do ours now.
We’ll have to agree to disagree mate. Football is a law that can’t be fathomed.It is not though. The legal citation says that loyalty bonuses are due 'as long as the player is still employed by the club at the date the installment is due'. If he is then employed by us, they don't owe him any further bonuses, as he is no longer under contract, he has beem bought out of it. That's what the court based their decision on. Just saying 'it has been the case for years' doesn't add anything, it is still wrong.
That is also true, pal, but the cherry for the player, in all instances is he hasn’t requested the move, hence he can refuse the move unless the bonuses are offered/honoured!It is not though.

Ffs mate, it’s been spelled out to you clear and correct. That’s the way it’s is, Cucca has sacrificed all loyalty bonuses to try and force a move to us.You go ahead, but that law has documented wording and it is pretty clear. And the Neymar case brought it to the surface.
So you think that next year, Cucurella will be collecting a loyalty bonus from Barcelona, Getafe, Brighton and Us all at the same time, while playing for us?
It is pretty clear in the wording I pasted above that it only applies while the player is under contract of that club. Disagree all you like, but that is the only thing I have seen publicly available.

Nothing, I’ve literally spelt it out to you mate. Let’s not carry this on now pal.Which he wouldn't get anyway if he got his move, because he would no longer be entitled to them not being an employee of that club. You've said absolutely nothing yo back it up, other than, 'it just is
Nothing, I’ve literally spelt it out to you mate. Let’s not carry this on now pal.
You get sold without putting in a transfer request you tend to get your loyalty bonuses paid out.No he won't. His contract comes to an end. Loyalty payments are part of seeing his contract through.
I wouldn't in his case. Loyalty bonus for someone that would prefer to play elsewhere is for me a bit much. So of they forego that, fair play.Barcelona are trying to dodge at least £20m in payments to de jong. I would have more respect if de jong realised he’s not wanted and just moved on. It’s not like they’re short of a few quid.
I agree, Barcelona should pay what is due in preferred wages. But he is also asking for loyalty bonuses as well. De jong is digging his heals in for an extra. If he wants to further his career then he should be more football and not money. Take a leaf out of Cuccas book and go for the football and not the money. Fucking agents.I wouldn't in his case. Loyalty bonus for someone that would prefer to play elsewhere is for me a bit much. So of they forego that, fair play.
But De Jong is being asked to forego wages, Barcelona are taking the piss not wanting to pay them.
Special powers.How’d you know?
