Reports that João Felix is only being paid €400k annually as part of his move to Barcelona.

The pull they have on players, even when the team isn't that good, is quite extraordinary. I can't think of anything else like it in world football, and he's not the first. Dani Alves did it to come back, countless other players took salary cuts and De Jong repeatedly turned down Man Utd to stay. Gundogan turned down reigning European champions to move.

No one more box office than them.

If you genuinely believe Felix is plying his trade for about £7k a week you're insane.

It's been widely reported and it's the only reason Barcelona were able to sign them as they are a financial basket case.

Are you suggesting that either Atletico are still paying him to play for their rivals or Barcelona are paying him off the books?

Even if that turns out to be the case he's still chosen an option that almost certainly makes him financially worse off Vs staying put or going to Saudi.

Real Madrid have far more pull.

Maybe, definitely one and two in the world. Can't remember many players taking pay cuts to join Real Madrid.

In the absence of his pay slip will believe what is reported in the media and what Barcelona themselves said when he was signed.

By one journalist.

Barcelona, the well know transparent football club.

Brilliant strike by Raphinha to equalise against Mallorca.  He’s been brilliant and the one Barca player who looks like he could offer something.

Not been impressed by Gundogan since he’s been signed.

Raphinha missed a second and Mallorca just scored a simple second!
