Ronaldo, Dybala for sale, Atal not
3 min read
Spurs have looked at Wilfried Zaha and José Mourinho has decided he does not want him, which is a relief for me,given I don't rate the guy.
How can someone not interested in the game unless he has the ball going to get on with a manager who wants players with the right mentality?
Terribly is the answer.
Youcef Atal
People keep asking about Youcef Atal, the Nice right-back, well you can forget all about him, he is not joining Spurs.
"If the big clubs are watching you, it means you are on the map, and you're really worth something.
"Anyway, I've just been recovering from my injury, and my only concern is OGC Nice, right now.
"I'm looking forward to playing my first European international competition, and I want to do it right here.
"The day I'm going to leave Nice, it's going to be for a prominent club.
"We are getting better by the day, also through the healthy competition ongoing among ourselves".
That recent quote makes it pretty he is going nowhere.
People are also asking about Emerson, right-back at Real Betis but again that is a complicated affair with both Barcelona and Real Betis part-owning him, 50% each.
Betis control him at the moment, but should they wish to sell him then Barcelona have to come to an agreement with them, that is before 2021.
In 2021 Barcelona take control of his future.
Both clubs paid 6m EUR for him but he is contracted to Betis until 2021 when Barcelona have an option to buy him.
They will have to pay the 6m EUR Betis paid plus an extra 3m EUR.
If Barcelona decide they don't want him then Betis have to pay them the 6m EUR they paid plus an extra 3m EUR.
So if Betis were to sell him, Barcelona would have to agree and Betis would have to pay them 9m EUR
That means his fee would need to be €18m just to get their money back and given his is highly sought after and Betis would need a replacement, then higher that that.
£16.29m
€18m
AUS$29.63m
US$21.21m
That is taking him out of our realm so do not expect to see him joining us in North London.
Juventus are strapped for cash and they are looking to reduce their massive wage bill.
The Italians have offered Ronaldo to Barcelona according to the reliable Spanish journalist Guillem Balague.
The Tuttosport front page says that Paulo Dybala is up for sale if he does not sign a lifetime contract at Juventus.
With a new manager in Andrea Pirlo, Juventus are having a clearout with the likes of 33-year-old (34 next April) Sami Khedira and 32-year-old (33 in December) Gonzalo Higuain
Others Pirlo is happy to let go are 29-year-old (30 in December) winger Douglas Costa or 22-year-old (23 next April) centre-back Cristian Romero.
The important factor wages and these figures, by the look of it,do not include bonuses which would be around another 66%.
Ronaldo €28m - €538,462
Higuain €6.7m - €128,846
Dybal €6.5m - €125,000
Khedira €5.8m - €111,539
Costa €5.4m - €103,846
If we add in 66% bonus payments
Ronaldo €46.48m - €893,846
Higuain €11.12m - €213,885
Dybal €10.79m - €207,500
Khedira €9.63m - €185,154
Costa €8.96m - €172,385
This is a conservative estimate because Ronaldo is reported to be on €1m per week.
If that is the case then you can add another 20% to these figures, which would put Dybal on €250,000 per week which would sound about right.
If 26-year-old (27 in December) Paulo Dybala does not sign a lifetime contract then we should certainly be asking about exchanging him and Tanguy Ndombélé.
We would only have to find around £26,000-a-week wages, very doable.
Mind you, can't see Dybala wanting to join a Europa League team myself.
