When the wage discrepancy is THAT huge, I don't blame him at all tbh. €200k per week tax free vs what, €40k less 45% tax? He'd have to be mad to take our offer tbf. Sad state of affairs but the fact is, if one of the oil state clubs really wants a player, only the very top level European clubs (City, Real, Bayern, level) can compete.
I don’t want Someone who would rather go to a fake ass city that thinks it’s a car over the premier league
At Bulka's age, 25yo, he still has ten years of football ahead of him ... ... that's a long time to play in a pretend football team at a pretend club. When he stops playing he'll be unemployable because the wages he can be offered will be so low as to be irrelevant.
This, his priorities aren’t on being the best player he can be, no stress, would be very hard to turn that money down in his shoes too
with not tax, so a euro side would need to be 350k a week minimum to match (before clever accounting ofc)
