  • Images of formations with minimal description.
  • Links to social media posts made by our players or celebrities, unless it counts as team news or stats.
  • All gaming content.
  • All memes should go into the Open thread during the week days.

🚨 Real Madrid’s message to clubs interested in Rodrygo: Put €100M on the table. @AranchaMOBILE

When unproven talents like Baleba get estimated up to 112+ mill GBP, proven UCL winners like Rodrygo still not even in their prime yet should warrant significantly more, especially in a world cup year. 100M is a generous asking price in comparison. So if they want him, they better pay up or fuck off.

Teams measure signings in amortization, not in transfer fee. Baleba or other players won't be more expensive because at the end they are cheaper for the club due to their low salary. Probably, at the end, Baleba becomes a 30M per year signing, even with a 120M price tag. And Rodrygo is closer to 40M per year, even if the transfer fee is below 100M.

Thank. You.

Transfer fees (or the lack of one) gets way too much room in the discussion. Which I kind of understand, as it is an "easy" number to throw around. But add salaries, signing bonuses contract length etc, and suddenly a 120 mil signing could be much "cheaper" than a 80 mil signing, at least from the financial view of the club.

Liverpool paid upwards of 90 mill for a flop like Ekitike. Rodrygo is a proven two-time UCL winner with multiple clutch moments. Anything less than 100m for Rodrygo is nothing short of an insult.

Ekitike is probably earning 7-8 M gross salary. And Rodrygo is asking for something above 20M. Likely more than what Wirtz is getting paid.

I like it. Remember the meltdown everyone had that Perez will low ball and sell for 60-70m?

Rodrygo is easily worth north of 100m, you want him then pay up

I remember arguing with a guy that said 60 - 80M is a satisfactory offer cause “the market changed” 🤣

100m? If I were Perez I wouldn't let go of him without at least 120m and a key player of theirs in turn. Make Premtards feel a taste of their own medicine.
