Premier League stars' crazy contracts revealed by Football Leaks

[King Binny]

As if obscene £xxxk per wk figures aren't obscene enough...

Aubameyang's deal is proof that money > CL football (not that we needed any confirmation of that)

[article]It can also be revealed that Liverpool committed to a 'clean-sheet bonus' of at least £250,000 for Virgil van Dijk when he signed from Southampton — which the Dutch centre back has not secured because 15 shut-outs are necessary and there have been only eight so far.

The Van Dijk contract is complex but he seems to be entitled to £375,000 if there are 18 clean sheets next season, £500,000 for 20 and £750,000 for 22.

The Football Leaks data reveal Swansea City would have earned another £2.5m for Gylfi Sigurdsson had buying club Everton qualified for this season's Champions League. [/article]

Happy enough for Virgil to get his £750k if we end a season with 22 clean sheets.

 

[Mystic]

We like paying £125k it seems.

 

[Dreambeliever]

None of that is surprising

How is Aubameyang getting a CL bonus? Did I miss something?

Must be for not being in the competition

How is Aubameyang getting a CL bonus? Did I miss something?

Probably because it was clear that they weren't making it when he signed so he negotiated that for next year he gets the bonus regardless.

Why ? - that is what the market is offering and they are accepting - it is not their fault. Also the wealth they earn has a trickle down effect which allows other people to earn money. I see nothing wrong with any of that - because it is how it is these days.

One thing that does make me happy is how much emphasis there is in terms of payments with regards to qualification for a CL place. Also the Sanchez contract highlights just how important it is to win the CL: £1M for winning CL and only £0.5M for winning the PL. It underlines the marketing value for a team that wins the CL - right now we should all be smiling as we have a chance of that this season.
