De Jong chose Barcelona over PSG after Nike agreed to subsidise wages - sources
>The company, a sponsor of both Barca and De Jong, will pay a large amount of the midfielder's salary, sources close to the club said.
So basically, Barca can offer a higher total salary to De Jong than other teams because Nike wanted him in a Barca shirt for maximum brand exposure and was thus willing to subsidize his salary.
This is an extremely interesting business/sports thing going on here. Discuss.

Not particularly. Puma did it with Reus.
Nike and Barca really are such slimy bastards
I say that but I have no complaints about you paying way over the odds for our fraud Brazilian and funding our title challenge
the Light or the Young?
but PSG have their shirt supplied by Nike too?
>our fraud Brazilian
u wot m8
Challenge being the key word, since it's all it will ever be
Nike is a sponsor of De Jong individually, and De Jong will see greater worldwide exposure in a Barca shirt than in a PSG shirt.

if they really wanted exposure they would have pushed a move to premiere league instead
Manchester United is the only English club that can compete with the worldwide exposure that comes with being a Barcelona or Real Madrid player.
Manchester United is typically not going to be competitive in competing for players who Barcelona and Real Madrid are interested in. Most players know that when Barcelona and Real Madrid come calling, you don't turn them down for anyone.
how is this allowed?
who cares, faggot. all the big clubs do seedy shit
welcome home de jong&de ligt skills 2019
Why shouldn't it be? He's a Nike player, of course they'd want him at a Nike team with more exposure. And accordingly he's getting a better sponsorship deal than before
Like I said, Puma have done it with Dortmund, they even pay like 20% of his wages.
Nah Barca is pretty much the best you can do in terms of exposure. Guaranteed wins and strong European performance. PL has neither.
because it undermines everything UEFA is trying to do with financial fair play
>he thinks UEFA cares about financial fair play
they're interested in the real madrids and bayerns of the world remaining at the top and hate new blood that give them a run
he's recognized as the most retarded trip in modern Yea Forums. Zero self awareness
