As they reported on the BBC article, it shows how keen they were to get him off the wage bill. I haven't read the release but is it true the payment is spread over 5 years lol?
Talking about "on our terms" is a load of hot air that they all say, but sometimes not on your terms is better. PSG are turning down €170m simply because they can, but I think it's obvious that Covid hit us hard, and once he made it clear he was leaving (how recently was this?) it put us on the back foot right away.

People still can't believe it but this is the proof we wanted to get this one over the line, even this late in the window. We wouldn't have accepted a loss of 30m aka releasing him for free but once he started to force the move, we did everything to get it done asap and get the most out of it. The fact the club was willing to record a loss, shows that both sides wanted to separate ways.
A question for the financial guys: will we be able to see from the next financial report whether Ronaldo gave up some wages to facilitate the move? There were rumors he was willing to do it just make the move happen.

when desperation shows at negotiations, that's what you end up with. both mendes and manure took us for fools, and we're probably still over the moon to get him off the books and wage bill. last season messi threw a tantrum a bit too late, barca showed him his contract, while we please everyone but our budget.
yes it's 5 years lol
"on our terms" should include no losses by default. look at any other club, they don't sell players below their book value, it's like football management 101. we recorded losses on higuain, matuidi (who was on an expiring contract lol), romero, mandzukic, that list is already way too long. and it's not only psg, real or chelsea who know how to sell, just look at everton: kean wanted to leave, club surely didn't want to keep, yet they record a nice plusvalenza on the deal.
a loss on cristiano ronaldo, jesus. we're running a charity.
