Madrid are paying Mbappe over the 5 years. I don’t know if that can be amortised in the accounts, but it might be possible.

Further thought.

It almost certainly will be possible to amortise as it’s no different to paying a club in instalments.

It’s the same expenditure on the books, just to a person, not a club.

I guess a signing on fee can’t be amortised though ?

If it's paid in installments over the length of his contract then yeah it can. There's a scenario where they can pay it all upfront to him and write it off then if they wanted to in the unique scenario where that's beneficial but otherwise that's being treated the same as it would be if they paid psg that amount as a transfer fee instead of straight into mbappes pocket.

Madrid haven't got mbappe on a free, they've paid perhaps just about on the lower end of what he's worth but theyve paid big money, only the recipient of the money is different With PSG being royally shafted.

Spending a reported £150 million on mbappe and £60 million on Endrick, they're over £200 million deep this summer already before the window is even open.

Depends how its structured. @Prestwich_Blue would know better here.

Madrid just paid 100-150 million sign on fee for Mbappe

Premier League has far stricter rules on spending then La Liga does, especially for their cash cow Real Madrid.

It's not comparable to our situation at all, the Premier League is doing everything in their power to slow us down and stop us from spending to improve the team. Tebas meanwhile sees the advantage of allowing Madrid and Barca to spend far more than the rest of the league to bring in big names like Mbappe and Lewandowski (amongst others). It's a farce.

In the books it doesnt really matter if a fee is paid in full on day 1 or in installments. You write the fee off during the assets contract length. If a player cost 50m on a 5 year deal its 10m/year in the books regardless of how and when the transaction is actually paid. Same goes with sign on fees.

All I'm seeing here is that big man Bernardo is sticking around. Huge.

Bernado looks like he has decided to get things moving for Neves himself!
