Yes, we can’t have any skullduggery, criminality and corruption here. That’s the domain of Arab oil money and they’re not minded to allow anyone else into their club.
PSG paid three different players over $1m per week. chelsea should tell tem to shut the ******** up and call their bluff.
no comment needed ...... Out-of-contract Crystal Palace and Ivory Coast forward Wilfried Zaha, 30, has received a £15m-per-year offer to join Cristiano Ronaldo at Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr. Atletico Madrid are also interested. (Sky Sports) Chelsea and France midfielder N'Golo Kante, 32, is being offered a salary that could reach £86.2m a year by Saudi clubs Al-Ittihad and Al-Nassr. (Guardian) Ballon d'Or winner Karim Benzema has agreed terms on a three-year deal with Saudi Arabian champions Al-Ittihad after leaving Real Madrid.
Borussia Dortmund have confirmed Jude Bellingham deal done with Real Madrid. €103m fee plus bonuses. Add-ons can amount to 30% of the fixed amount. Agreement signed between the clubs, same for Jude who signed until June 2029.(FRomano)
So how is he going to be paid him 100m a season to cover the money he would have made in Saudi-ville?
The belief is that he’ll make more on endorsements and collaborations, while keeping his hands clean, than he would have in Saudi land.
I don;t condone violence (unless it's on Marjorie Taylor Greene or Donald Trump Junior with a baseball bat) but that is pretty crass. The idea of self-edification isn't rattling around in that brain much....
Congratulations to West Ham for winning the Europa Conference League. Bowen with the winner in the 90th minute. The Hammers will be in the Europa League next season.
So Barcelona (who couldn’t afford his wages) had something to say about Messi going to Miami. “President [Joan] Laporta understood and respected Messi’s decision to want to compete in a league with fewer demands, further away from the spotlight and the pressure he has been subject to in recent years…” Quite naturally then, the titans of the Scottish 4th tier, Stenhousemuir, were compelled to issue a statement of their own.
Polish referee Szymon Marciniak is preparing for one of the biggest games of his career as he takes charge of Saturday's Champions League final. Manchester City and Inter Milan will contest the final in Istanbul after successfully forging a path through the knockout stages. According to Sporting Free, Marciniak will receive $10,000 for officiating the Champions League final. ....... LMAO, Abu Dhabi will add a couple of zeros to that, assuming he behaves appropriately.
A new front-of-shirt sponsor for NUFC, Sela (£25m/season for the club). "Sela's website says it is owned by the country's sovereign wealth Public Investment Fund (PIF), which also holds an 80% stake in Newcastle". So brazen that it is - almost - comical. https://t.co/4TETeX4pX4— Philippe Auclair (@PhilippeAuclair) June 10, 2023
