Sell Neymar for £200m, buy Coutinho for £80m...good business in my opinion
Sky Sports understands...
La Liga have told Sky Sports News that they will NOT accept the payment from PSG to trigger Neymar’s release clause.
They are expecting PSG to visit their offices this afternoon.
A spokesman for the office of La Liga president Javier Tebas said:
"We will not accept the money for the liberation clause, the reason is that we have doubts that this money is in accordance with UEFA Financial Fair Play rules."
Neymar's buyout clause is believed to be €220m.
You can never hate a player who dresses like this on his holiday

As an experienced mover and shaker in transfer dealings I expect when negotiations open between the clubs the fee will be lessened by the inclusion of a player such as Verratti going from France to the Spanish club effectively lessening the transfer spend by about 25%.
I'm always surprised when people denigrate FFP as though it never existed.
I distinctly remember City being fined a rather large amount of money and both Chelsea and City openly admitting they were unable to sign players because of FFP.
Perhaps my memory is failing me :old:
Ooh, would you look at that:

And what's more, that:

Surely the Qatar World Cup won't go ahead? One of my best mates lives in Dubai and the word on the street out there is that it will be moved. No planning for any air conditioned stadia (or in fact any stadia at all). They're going to have to get a move on if they want it there.
And this is before we consider the fact that they clearly paid for the privileged rather than being awarded it on merit.
In a bizarre twist of fate, and indeed a remarkable coincidence, the sum is his fee for said ambassadorial duties thus allowing him to buy his freedom from the shackles of his FCB contract. No transfer fee.
I suppose legally it is legal and all that but you know, it’s not.
It’s all a madness anyway, PSG will still be PSG and will operate in a slightly lesser league meanwhile I expect Barcelona to simply come out of the entire thing even stronger and will remain elite.
And I seem to recall the same pessimism about FFP back in 2012, 2013 etc
FFP disappeared because clubs stopped doing what City and Chelsea were doing back in the late 00s. If they start doing it again I expect UEFA will become involved again.
I'm not suggesting it is tremendously powerful and not without certain flaws, you understand, but the idea that it doesn't exist and therefore has had no impact on a club's spending is demonstrably untrue.
The whole football financial world is going to come crashing down when the TV deals go pop, with owners asset stripping clubs to get their money back.
At this point, Arsene will step forth with his healthy, black bank balance and Arsenal will dominate for decades to come :cloud9:
No idea mate, all seems a complete madness to me. In theory it may come down to legal stuff and the two entities - the Qatar World Cup and the sponsorship of PSG between two seperate entities.
Will all become very intersting all the same as Barcelona then move for Mbappa or whoever, Sanchez even mooted, Ozil mooted. Could be nonsense created by mischievous British media of course.
The powers that be at places like Madrid will tell you that big transfers like Zidane and Neymar are far less costly than you might think because of the knock on impact on advertising, shirt sales, image rights etc.
It makes sense, although you'd never catch Arsenal falling into that trap, of course. :rolleyes:
I would have thought Mbappe leaving would make Lemar significantly less likely to happen. If we wanted him badly we should have gone in early on with a big offer and secured him before the market went mad and Monaco hadn't sold anyone. As City did with Silva.
But that's not really the Arsenal (Wenger) way, is it?
The first scenario won't be happening. Also, what is in it for Ozil to sign now? He's 4 months away from being able to talk to any club outside of England (although admittedly he'll probably be speaking to those too) and seeing how much they'll be willing to pay him on top of a signing on fee that would probably be €10-20m. It's in both his and Sanchez's interest to play out their contracts now and become very rich men.
Well no. I get your thinking, they'll not want to sell etc but Lemar is probably more likely to want to push for a move. All his mates have left and quadrupled their wages and everything good about the team will have gone (apart from Fabinho), why would he want to stay?
With Lemar it will come down to price, as with all their players. Monaco are reluctant sellers but willing if the price is right and the player wants out.
