I remember thinking it was mental that Gianluigi Lentini went to AC Milan for £13m.
£200m. Insane.
Seen tweets saying that La Liga are refusing to accept the release clause money because it has doubts that the money has arrived in accordance with FFP rules.
from the BBC reaction page
"For the price of Neymar, PSG could have bought 792,000,000 Freddos..."
makes you think
You could buy Newcastle United Football Club with that much money.
Release clauses are fucking stupid,especially for a top club like barcellona.

I mean, this is all kinds of crazy due to the values involved, but we're witnessing history. It's gonna be one of those transfers that people will always remember (for positive, negative or whatever motives).
Did UEFA give up on FFP?

Yep. More people would remember Shearers (for example) transfer atleast here.Not really. Gareth Bale was once the highest one, and even with those that I know understand a bit of football they go "who?" after all this time. People will talk about this for a few months, remember it when PSG wins / loses something and move on.

FFP works on rolling 3-year periods. IF Neymar moves he will hit PSG accounts for 2017-18. And PSG will be assessed in 2018-19 for it. And that assessment in 2018-19, will include 2017-18, 2016-17 and 2015-16. So there's nothing UEFA can do now. If there is an inflated sponsorship from parties related to PSG (and, let's face it, there is, then UEFA will assess it like they did last time (and like they do with every related-party transaction). They won't look at the total number but give it a value based on benchmarks. That's what they did with City and what they did with PSG last time. If PSG is in breach, UEFA will likely offer a settlement agreement that will include sanctions. If other clubs think the sanctions are too soft, they can appeal and take it the CFCB Adjudicatory branch. Their word is final. (Except for CAS appeal).
Pretty sure they are mandatory in spain. And they have to be public tooSpanish clubs love them.
Neymar is a marketing juggernaut compared to Gareth Bale. Now excluding that, the transfer itself will make it relevant from years to come. Either the process is going to be unique or it's setting a new precedent.
Hahahaha! That's absolutely amazing.
Yup, I think it's gonna set a new precendent. Because of this move and Barca likely wanting to fill the gap left by Neymar they will have to go very far for a replacement. Like it wouldn't surprise me if this month we're gonna see another 150m+ move of someone like Dybala. And in turn that will probably lead to another big 100m+ transfer to Juve for example.
The market basically reached another cap this tranfer window and now we just wait for the first 500m+ transfer.
From Gabrielle Marcotti on twitter a few days ago regarding FFP
If Bale was worth 100m, then Neymar is easily worth twice that amount. This is how the market works, how idiotic it has become. Biggest Brazillian star, present at every WC, and a more versatile and talented player. Younger as well. He has more worldwide appeal by a mile.
Due to his age hes also worth more than Messi and CR.

He won't flop. Dive, but not flop, lol. He's very talented, he adapted rather quickly at the camp nou as well. A difficult squad to fit in, players like Zlatan didn't succeed.
He can break his ankle or something, but I think he'll do well at PSG. If they can make that jump to a CL win, not sure. RM and Barca are ridiculously constant in finals. Its no accident they never lost one for ages.
True the answer to the moral issue of PSG's owners is to introduce measures to artificially cap the earning potential of players and establish a cartel that will funnel a larger share of the money to the owners.Absolutely disgusting. 222 million euros paid on the backs of slaves. Sadly nothing will change unless the UEFA get really tough on teams introducing salary and transfer caps.
