Dybala enters the free agent market

Juve announced that Dybala left the team at the end of the season to enter the free agent market, coupled with Mbappe dembele Pogba and so on, this summer's European football market may usher in a unique wave of star visa-free, more lively than the NBA free agent market. The biggest asset of a football club is the player, why do the major giants sit back and watch the assets lose?

The visa-free army is getting bigger and bigger

There are many stars with a high probability of leaving the team when the contract expires this summer, enough to discharge two or three sets of European competitive squads, the heaviest weight is Mbappe, the most expensive player in history to flow into the free agent market (160 million euros), plus Dembele, Pogba, Dybala, Bale and Suarez, there have never been so many big names who were once worth hundreds of millions of dollars to be exempted from the visa. When the year of the big club backbone is also a large number, Jules has signed Dortmund, completed the physical examination of Casey and Christensen joined Barca hand in hand only to wait for the official announcement, Belotti settled in Milan without suspense, Rudiger is the bun sought after by the giants, not counting aubameyang, who has been in hot form after the release of Arsenal to join Barca this winter, and Insigne, who has been determined for life with the MLB in advance.

The Neymar effect has driven players' salaries up

The Neymar effect radiates football

Neymar's transfer to Paris in 2017 costs 222 million euros and an annual salary of 36 million yuan after tax pushed the two indicators to unprecedented heights, forcing other giants to join the arms race. Mbappe, Hazard, Griezmann, Dembele, Coutinho, Felix, Ronaldo and Lukaku, Glalis, etc., all broke the 100 million yuan mark in transfer fees, which can reach the expectations of the new owner only Mbappe. This has also made the income of the giants more cautious when investing in the past two years, preferring to dig up free bodies, although they have to pay a high-priced signing fee, which is much cheaper than the nine-figure transfer fee, not to mention that the commission of the heavy reinforcement parties is not a small amount.

Dembele's salary requirements are far beyond what Barca can afford

Player salaries have been recorded repeatedly

Another consequence of the Neymar effect is the rocket rise in the salaries of top players, Messi Barca's last annual salary after tax is nearly 50 million, Juve opened 30 million yuan for digging C Ronaldo, and the return of C Ronaldo to Manchester United before the season also refreshed the highest salary record in the history of the Red Devils. In the past, the Premier League powers with high average salaries and few salaries have also been forced to open checkbooks in the past two years, with De Bruyne, De Gea, Sancho, Havertz, Pogba, Varane and Sterling all earning more than £300,000 a week before tax, and Werner, Cavani and Martial are also around 250,000, and Liverpool will break the record in team history if they renew Salah.

Mbappe's partner Messi may only have 1 year

Eating enough dividends refuses to cut wages

In addition to cases like Mbappe, which considers the future better than income, a large number of players have to consider making enough money in their short careers, and the players who signed high-salary contracts in the 2017-20 dividend era are rarely willing to give in to salary cuts (Barca Real Madrid and their long-term ministers have reduced their salaries by up to 10%, and more are extended periods of time to postpone payments). If it is difficult to find the ideal home, it is better to stay in the comfort zone to get a full salary, and it is difficult for each family to deal with high-paid redundant personnel, or not to post money to send god (such as Juve loan Ramsey), otherwise only wait for the contract to be consumed and automatically leave the team, such as Beldenbele.

Brokers fuel it

FIFA is ready to set up a fixed proportion of commissions to limit the broker predators to cover the sky, but at present, the giants still have to deal with the various brokers who can't open their mouths, who signs the trump card of Mendes Raiola and can't pay a large commission? Meet Mbappe Nemar Halland, these top celebrities, and even have to provide their family with a beautiful name of the cost of settling down, if the fat water does not flow outsiders Tian brother and father himself are agents, the commission is naturally more exaggerated. Top players are scarce resources, the cash cows of agent relatives and friends, whether it is a transfer or a contract extension, they are looking forward to making a big profit, and the capital is miserable.

Merrow remains the highest-paid class

The deficit giants tightened their belts

If the income from the healthy and orderly development of the giants increases steadily every year, the rapid increase in expenditure is still bearable, but in the past two years, due to well-known reasons, Football revenue fell off a cliff (Juve lost 190 million euros last quarter, in recent years, Real Madrid has sold many rookies for 2 years the net profit is a pitiful 1.19 million), since it can not agree to the harsh and even excessive demands of the labor side, 4 years ago for C Ronaldo to throw a thousand dollars of Juve, this season actually and Dybala basically negotiated a new contract and then repented, Milan Chelsea gritted their teeth and did not agree to The Kasi Rudiger conditions, Inter and Brozovic renewed the contract for 2 years without finalization. If you can't provide satisfactory treatment for the player team, and you are unwilling to let go of the main force at a low price (many players sign a second transfer share, the actual income of the club is often much lower than the transaction price is also one of the reasons for reluctance to trade, around this point the number of lawsuits is increasing day by day), the result of the tug-of-war game at the negotiating table is often to the end of the free departure.

Casey is close to signing with Barca

It is difficult for star players to renew their contracts with their mothers

The inconspicuous million euro gap in the past may now force the giants to abandon the absolute main force and seek high floating bonuses to collect some blue-collar workers with practicality and attendance guarantees, and also increase the difficulty of renewing the contracts of star players and their mothers. Salah's contribution to Liverpool, it is not too much to ask for a weekly salary of 400,000, but the Reds refused to let up and turned to Louis Díaz in advance, and such giants who are unwilling to break the wage structure abound, even the landlords are no exception, otherwise it is impossible to explain that Chelsea's three-centre-back contract is only three months.

The tide of visa-free will continue

In the next one or two years, most of the self-reliant giants are still difficult to recover, the visa-free tide will not fade in the short term, such as Levan may also step into the free market next year, because the salary increase requirements cannot be met, the annual salary before tax is only 19.5 million, less than 1/3 of Neymar, the contribution on the field is 18,000 miles, who is psychologically unbalanced, but Bayern has always been unmoved. Next year's contract deadline is also the Bundesliga assist king Müller, Real Madrid head Benzema, Liverpool ace Salah, Mane and Firmino, Manchester United's best de Gea of the season, etc., the club's budget is limited to prioritize long-term rookies, these years of veterans may say goodbye to the mother.
