📻 [RAC1] | The scandalous bonuses that explain the ruin of Barça
Tú Diràs, program of RAC1, had access to the contracts of two players who were kept anonymous, but who are "regular starters" and who signed their renewals during the term of the previous president
👇
€11m prize for playing at least half of the matches of a season, €1.2m more for overcoming the group stage of the Champions League, €3.6m as a prize if there is a treble
An extra €15m in loyalty bonuses and fulfilling their contracts; these are some of the bonuses that Josep Maria Bartomeu included in the contracts of Barça's key players when they renewed
In one of the contracts revealed, it was specified that by remaining at the club in the 20-21 season, the footballer would collect €6.7m as a loyalty bonus
If he continued in the squad the following season, he would receive €2.8m as a prize, an amount that would increase by €5.6m the following year, and all this in addition to a salary that is over €13.5m per season
But there is more: by playing at least half of the games of the season, the footballer in question would receive €2m more per season in his first year after renewing
This percentage of matches requirement would decrease as time passed, reaching a requirement of 35% of matches played in the last year of his contract
🎙️[RAC1] | Joan Laporta: “I did hope that at the last minute Messi said he would play for free. I would have liked that and he would have convinced me. I understand that the League would have accepted it. But we cannot ask a player of his level.”
🎙️| Joan Laporta: “I thought so because I know him, he went up with me to the first team, I helped his family a lot. He knew that when we would recover the economy he would be reciprocated. We have no debt. Maybe there are some concepts left but we will pay for it as agreed.”
🎙️| Joan Laporta: "Everything indicates that he already had the offer from PSG. Everyone knew that he had a very powerful offer. We knew that from Messi they had a very good offer."
🎙 [@SeFutbol] | Pablo Gavi: "For me it is a pride to be the youngest player in the history of the team [Spain] and to represent my country and, above all, with victory."
@SeFutbol Gavi: "It was a dream for me to hear the anthem, I have always dreamed of being able to reach the senior national team and being able to come out as a starter I didn't expect, but I was attentive to anything."
@SeFutbol Gavi: "I was at La Masía, at the residence, and my friends there told me that I had been called up. I found out through them. Until I saw the picture here, in the video, I didn't believe it."
