Messi had some similar clauses in his contract at Barca.. where he had input into managerial appointments and signings..so the hypocrisy is startling.

In fact I’d wage that Ronaldo possibly had something not too dissimilar in his final contract at Madrid and La Liga is one of the most lopsided in terms of distribution of wealth as Barca and Madrid monopolise everything

Very weird, seems as LaLiga has a history of straight shooting when it comes to finances.

La Liga seems to take the view that the quality of players available to Barcelona and Real Madrid translates directly into revenue and relevance for the league as a whole. They reacted fairly similarly to Messi's transfer to PSG. They were also banking on Haaland going to Madrid.

Since Barcelona's financial troubles started I imagine La Liga are very concerned about their league's diminishing status.

Doesn't the royal family fun Real Madrid too? Maybe some itchy fingers in the med.

tbh the reported contract is bizarre - money aside, he apparently has a say in who can coach them and gets a say in transfers in and out? I'm surprised they also didn't give him full autonomy over the lunch menu

Real Madrid is owned by the club's members, who elect the president. Florentino Perez, the President since 2009, was re-elected unopposed last time (you have to be a member and need a deposit of €60m, so there aren't that many eligible candidates).

They've been gunning for PSG for ages as they resent anyone upsetting the status quo. They probably have a pint but I hate Real and Barca almost as much as Norwich

This the same Barca who are even more in debt?

This is a case of clubs which can outspend their peers complaining they have been outspent.

Surely their main gripe here is precisely this? Barcelona are subject to meaningful financial restrictions, related to their club revenue, where PSG are not.

Tebas and La Liga havr actually been enforcing financial restrictions on La Liga clubs though, which is why Barcelona found themselves in the position they did last Summer, and stuck to his guns even though it meant Barca (and La Liga) losing Messi

So actually there can’t be many people/organisations better placed to criticise than them

The whole thing is very weird. We've also got Qatar in 6 months time to highlight the absolute madness that is football finances in the modern era.

My Citeh mates have slowly become more and more hypocritical these days, they're basically everything they used to hate and then some.

The numbers seem to get more eye watering with every article you read re Mbappe. It's just a dick measuring contest isn't it? Because there is no commercial argument for them keeping him there. With or without Mbappe they aren't going to win the Champions League and the league is virtually a formality for them (even though Lille did win it last year).

I think a big difference between the 2 clubs, Man City are basically now at a similar level to Man U, Chelsea and Liverpool re spending with wages around £350-400m a season

In PSGs last accounts they were 4 times 2nd place in the league, and since then they’ve signed on ‘free transfers’ Buffon, Ramos, Wijnauldum, Messi and now there’s this deal.

Very real chance that a league that has no eyes on it, is going to have a club who has a wage bill that is 50% more than the rest of the elite

And Madrid have let go off Ramos and sold Varane and Odegard to free up the cash to sign him this summer
