Coming from Baren Cross Leeds United hope to make between £50m and £55m on Kalvin Phillips’s transfer to Manchester City if a variety of clauses are reached in the deal. Advanced talks with the Premier League champions virtually reached an agreement on Friday afternoon and the transfer should go through in the near future.
All transfers are staged payments. It makes no difference because all our incoming transfers are staged payments.
YEP are saying that the total deal is worth £55m, so lets say thats true. That would mean so far we have spent £42m which means we are £13m ahead….. so spent zero yet
Kelvin was an absolute must in el locos set up. Maybe we wouldnt have seen the best of him again under Marsch Good luck to him. The fee is absolutely disgraceful and I'd like to see all of it put back into the first team. Also, if we are following the Leicester model then surely that's it for star men leaving ? So where does that leave Raf this term? Or is that a load of bollocks as well?
Phil Hay: Leeds United in hunt to sign Mohamed Camara after dramatic move by Red Bull Salzburg star If true going to cost at least £30m

Back to the OP Tax in Spain, as Doc says, some players here pay 50%, but after a bit of digging it turns out that this varies where you live. In Spain 50% of tax goes to the central government and 50% to the local government, each local authority sets their own rates. A high earner in Cataluña would pay 50% but his counterpart in Madrid would only pay 45%. The difference for the mega earners can run into hundreds of thousands of euros.
Anyone earning more than £150k pa in the UK pays 50%. But let's face it, footballers are prolly paid offshore & pay zilch in tax.
Seems we've put a HUGE valuation on Harrison. https://motleedsnews.com/news/leeds...on-on-tottenham-hotspur-target-jack-harrison/ Based on the £42m received for Phillips, it is estimated that this HUGE valuation could be as much as 40 quid.
I’m sure Phil Hay uses NewsNow you’d think with all his years in the job he’d have found at least one insider for info
As it stands now we are worseoff. This morning we were a better side having 3 new players but losing Phillips means the Phillips fee has paid for the 3 new players so on paper the club have made £13m profit plus 3 players. When Rapha goes we will be even worse off but richer. The club now need to spend big in the DM role to replace Phillips, then a striker and another top player to replace Raphinha and we should then be a better side
