Conceiçao, “his” card and the decisive renunciation of money for Juve

To explain the imminent transfer of the final title of Francisco Conceiçao at Juventus Let’s start with the one to which the player will give up just to wear the black and white shirt. It is a part of the cost of a tag that would be intended for him who holds the 20% of the same. What did Portuguese do? To unlock the impasse between Juve and Port and bring the parts to an economic agreement in faster times (the will is to present the 24th at the meeting at Continassa) has clarified that he is in a hurry to collect his 20%of his. Hence the glimmer decisive: in this way the economic proposal Juventina, scramed of that percentage, will be able to satisfy the Portuguese and Chico request can become in all respects a Juventus player thanks to this 21-22 million operation plus some bonuses with easily accessible conditions up to 25. And that part of money destined for Conceiçao? No definitive renunciation will be spread in its engagement over several years. All happy, from the clubs to the player who serves the decisive assist and reopens his story in black and white with this Beau Geste For the lady.

The player card

Beyond the beautiful epilogue that is about to materialize, this dynamic has not gone unnoticed in some way particular and not so customary in a story in which it emerges that A footballer is partially owner of himself. In Europe less, but in South America it was not uncommon to find footballers with the frankished card and with a percentage belonging to a bottom. Fifa years ago put a brake on this dynamic that led to absurd auctions and ended up under the lens some operations including Neymar’s passage from Santos to Barcelona; But removed those “third parties” remains the possibility that a part of the card remains in some way to the player. The most recent example is Richard Rios, the goal of Rome: the Colombian holds 10% of his card and – more or less as Conceiçao – would be ready to give up that share to facilitate the closure of a complicated operation that Massara wants to archive with 28 million bonuses included (this is the last offer delivered to Palmeiras).

MONEY? There are those who say no

The other case to which the Conceiçao affair belongs is that of players who give up money to facilitate their transfer, stay or farewell. Noa Lang did that to get to Napoli reduced his salary, and in 2021 Pedro who, to speed up the transition to Lazio, gave up on the month of August by Rome. Even Tonali in 2021 cut 400 thousand euros of salary in order to stay at Milan after the first loan vintage. Gattuso, on the other hand, in 2019 when discussing the severance pay after the consensual termination with Milan said no to his last two years to make sure that all 24 monthly can be paid to his staff. And then there are Redondo and Mandzukic; The first broke the crusader, practically never played the question like this: “I asked him not to pay the salary until I would have returned to play”. Similar speech for the former Juve, always in the Rossoneri, when in 2021 he renounced a month of salary because he was injured. “An exceptional gesture-the comment of President Paolo Scaroni-who demonstrates the ethics and professionalism of Mario Mandzukic and his respect for Milan. The club will thus have the opportunity to further support the Milan Foundation for projects in favor of young people in conditions of socio-economic and educational fragility, in which sport is a tool for social inclusion”.
