Some fascinating bonus clauses in #PSG player contracts.
Because of a lack of a fines system in Ligue 1, they pay players to behave:

E.g: Neymar,

*€2.5m/yr for not criticising manager's choices
*€375k/yr for greeting fans before/after games
*€2m for Balon D'Or top 3 finish
So many of these clauses included in contracts these days.

Reminds me of one from Arsenal's deal for Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Every 20 minutes played, Southampton were due another £10k fee.

Wenger subbed him on in min:

'72 vs Stoke,
'73 vs Liverpool,
'72 vs Coventry, etc.
Southampton later claimed that injury time should be included in the deal, and Arsenal were forced to pay back the outstanding balance after the Daily Mail published a story on the clause.
Atlético Madrid still receive bonus payments based on Sergio Agüero's initial deal to Manchester City in 2011:

* €250k, for every 15 goals scored
* €250k, for every 25 games played
* €1m, payable each time City win Premier League title
Balotelli's contract at Liverpool, 2014/15:

£500k = Avoid trouble on & off pitch
£400k = Premier League top scorer
£150k = Bonus, every 5 games played
£85k = weekly wage
£5k = bonus, per goal
Ezequiel Lavezzi, 30, was due a £300k bonus if his club, Hebei China Fortune won the league (they didn't).

Not to worry, he earns:

£41.5m/year
£798k/week
£114k/day

(11 goals in 25 games this season, for those wondering).
All Cristiano Ronaldo's household employees must sign a 70 year non-disclosure agreement, agreeing that:

"Nothing about Cristiano's private life may be divulged until 70 years after the death of either the player or the last of his relatives."
Rafael Van der Vaart, Real Betis, 2015:

"The player's boots may in no case contain any red." (Sevilla, rivals).

Van der Vaart would go on to receive 14 monthly bonus payments of €115k.
Thomas Vermaelen, Barcelona, 2014:

Wages: £56k/wk.

When first signing, clauses included:

* the player must learn Catalan
* club officials can send player to functions/events of their choice (€100k/yr)
* management permitted to use him as sparingly as they see fit (€100k/yr)
Aubameyang to Arsenal:

* wages = £198k/week
* £15.15m loyalty bonus (4 installments, total due before 2021)
* £2.26m/year Champions League bonus (received last season)
* £300k bonus for 25 goal contributions in a season
* £50k bonus per match he starts which Arsenal win
