It’s even more devious by the Spanish mafia aka Barcelona.
according to Kevin on the price of football podcast Messi 2 year deal payable over 5 years and they are planning to cancel some players contracts.
Whilst that is allowed if you pay the contract up their plan is to cancel and not pay!
The players and his agents will sue but by then Barcelona don’t have the wage to account for on this seasons wage bill so can Aguero etc.
Their thinking is the contracts cancelled and by the time it goes to court will be 3 to 6 months down the line and won’t be counted on this seasons wage bill
just watch uefa and the Spanish fa ban them eh! No chance it will be hushed up whilst they hunt us down for failing to declare a lawnmower on our accounts shared with the women’s team!!!
