Have the rules around amortising over a max of 5 years not come in yet?
It seems a bizarre way or circumventing the rules given it is so risky, surely? I could understand it in a sport where the team was less important, the individual more so (possibly baseball?), as it is maybe less likely that a player loses value. The Premier League is littered with players being overpaid and difficult to offload, signed on high contracts by optimistic clubs. Giving relatively unproven players 8 year contracts seems to be asking for trouble...

Better squeeze in just a few more exploitative long contracts before UEFA or FIFA steps in

Feels absurd to hear these long contracts for players who had performed well for a short period

Can't wait to see it all come crashing down

It won't. Saudi has given them a perfect get out jail card for underperforming players on long contracts

Picked up nothing from the transfers last window, eh?

Kinda weird for Chelsea to keep giving really long term contract

8 years? That's some Bartomeu juice they're sipping.

It’s going to be fun to look at the Chelsea transfer window at end of this summer.
