What is Football Leaks?
Football Leaks have specialised in the publication of contracts for teams and football players, many of them world-renowned.
It has always been defined as an organisation created in search of the truth and that only through public pressure can the difference be achieved and the hidden part of football uncovered.
They have made themselves known through different publications that have brought the documents they obtained into the public domain.
What has been leaked by Football Leaks?
With the German publication Der Spiegel at the forefront, and El Mundo in Spain also involved, leaks of 18.6 million documents, including contracts, emails and spreadsheets, have been uncovered.
They've included many details of the signings and agreements of the main players and teams in European football.
Who has been affected by Football Leaks?
Tax crimes of the Jorge Mendes clan have been particularly hit.
Mourinho, Cristiano Ronaldo, Di Maria, Jackson Martinez, Carvalho, Falcao, Coentrao, Pepe and James Rodriguez.
Others who've been caught out by the organisation are Modric, Benzema, Vermaelen, Van der Vaart, Oblak, Ozil, Higuain, Laudrup, Neymar... and now Gianni Infantino in relation to the special treatment he gave to Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City.
Curiosities displayed by Football Leaks?
Fifty two million euros charged by Lavezzi for 23 months of work in China, 400,000 euros net to Thiago Silva every time he wins Ligue 1, 300,000 for qualifying for the Champions League, 250,000 euros for being the French Cup champions and 350,000 euros if he participates in 60 percent of official matches.
For several seasons, the Irish fund, Quality Sport Investment, related to the agent Jorge Mendes, owned a good part of Atletico Madrid.
The rights of Diego Costa (33 percent), Arda Turan (50 percent), Radamel Falcao (50 parent) and even Saul Níguez (40 percent) and Koke (33 percent) were owned at some point by the fund.
Transfer costs unveiled?
From Bale's 100 million euros to the 75m paid by Manchester United for Di Maria and 36m paid for Kun Aguero.
What will it mean for Infantino?
He must justify the decisions taken at the time.
UEFA wants to be scrupulous to the fullest and now has all the information and reasons to take action.
Can PSG and Manchester City be left out of the competition?
Other teams such as Rubin Kazan, Malaga and Milan have been.
If they have breached the FFP regulations, then yes they can be excluded from European competition.
Will PSG be forced to sell Neymar and Mbappe?
They will never be forced to sell to this or that player, particularly if they can justify the disbursements.
What is UEFA pursuing?
To ensure that states don't fund football teams.
They pretend that teams are paid for by what they generate and not by oil, gas or construction.
Are Europe's greats looking for a league apart from state teams?
Yes, as evidenced by the filtering of the creation document.
If UEFA doesn't react, the big teams have everything ready, they want to force Manchester City and PSG to compete on equal terms, something they don't do now.

Good that they uncover shady stuff, but a lot of times they intrude on players and clubs’ privacy. There needs to be a limit to what they stick their noses into
I hope the wrongdoer ends up where he belongs, in jail!

Time for Infantino to go, and get someone honest and straight, possibly a German or Swede in FIFA.

Obviously, UEFA will not force PSG to sell to anyone. They will not even take them out of the Champions League. At the most, a crowd for the sheik laughs paying for what he has left over from breakfast.

Let's see, if the uefa and the fifa consented, they would never sanction Psg and M.City. It's logic

Yes, I agree that they will not be forced to sell this or that player, but, to balance such unbalanced accounts, they will have to sell to one of their two stars, minimum, and, in addition, the buying clubs go to play haggling, knowing that they have nothing left to sell, precisely (as happened with Guedes and Valencia this year).

Independently of which they have to sell they have to be sanctioned without playing in europe or even with loss of category but that is already almost impossible.

I imagine Florentino sitting in the armchair of his luxurious office, waving the ice from his glass of Whiskey, releasing a half smile, while caressing his white kitten ...

imo, nothing is private where such huge amounts of money is concerned. money = corruption. if you don't have something to hide, you should not worry that your finances are made public.
