Qatar themselves are going to give Neymar a 300 million contract to headline WC 2022. And he will pay off his release clause himself with it with no involvement from PSG

So he essentially will be a free transfer to PSG lol

That is some shady poo poo

Why would he give it away exactly?

Wengy gave a weird press conference today that essentially said it doesn't matter if Ozil and Sanchez sign new contracts before the season starts, and that players are always going to run down their contracts now because transfer fees are so high. Sounds like they'll both be leaving on a free in 2018.

He'll probably do a bunch of advertisements in praise of the state, and "host" events for sponsors and corrupt FIFA member types.

players normally pay the release clause themselves and get a fat signing on bonus to magically equal the same fee from the new club

this isn't really any different except for the amount but if you're an oil rich sheikh who gives a gently caress

There are not a lot of things in football that make me genuinely angry but this is definitely one of them. gently caress this poo poo and gently caress Neymar for going along with it.

I've read before that this is how Spanish release clauses are structured, that technically it's a release if the contracted player pays the buyout, not if a buying club does. So there's a gentleman's agreement that clubs agree to sell at that price but legally speaking they don't have to. And because payouts to other clubs' players are contractually limited and most players don't have tens of millions laying around (let alone hundreds of millions) then they would tend to have a cashflow issue actually paying off the release clause without doing some shady poo poo.

That all being said, this is the shadiest loving poo poo. Qatar is the worst. I hope they pay this money and then Neymar fucks off and then the World Cup is taken away from them anyway.

Neymar should hold his head high and not take a small fortune to play for one slightly more corrupt team instead of the other

I hope Neymar takes the money and then the International Criminal Court finds Qatar in violation of human rights law and imprisons him forever for taking 300 million euros from them.

If I'm reading it right, this essentially means Qatar helps PSG pay for Neymar's transfer in exchange for Neymar doing some marketing work for the Qatar World Cup.

Why is this any more egregious than half the outrageous transfers out there?

Because it's the nation state of Qatar itself making an entirely separate contract free of UEFA and club football to dramatically benefit PSG in a way that circumvents transfer laws. PSG is Qatar's plaything yes, but it is not officially and can never officially be owned by them, and they are still beholden to transfer limitations. Qatar are 'coincidentally' giving Neymar a ridiculous amount of money at the exact time he'd need it to leave Barca without PSG breaching FFP. If they can do this then what's to stop Sheikh Mansour throwing a billion at Messi?

This seems to be a problem with the way player contracts and release clauses are set up. If the clubs and authorities were really so bummed out about this it can't be that hard to fix it.

Because FIFA are just as corrupt and are probably getting back payments to look the other way?

Because they can't probably? A Qatari lawyer could just say: 'Show me where it says we can't do this?'.
Most Fifa/Uefa can do is change the rules to prevent poo poo like this happening in the future imo.
