Facundo Campazzo’s return complicated for Real Madrid
countdown to decide the future Facundo Campazzo It has already started.of real madrid From Tuesday afternoon he red star Argentine point guards have 10 days (until Friday afternoon the 16th) to match if they want their players back to white discipline after two years in the NBA.
White clubs will not be easy, as Serbia’s proposal is a much higher sum than Madrid’s.WhenRed Star have offered Campazzo a deal worth €1.8m for the remainder of the season, plus the payment of most of the debt owed to the point guard for his move from Real Madrid to the NBA. Two years ago. Facu has to pay the White Club his €2.6 million from his €6 million exit clause, which was exercised two years ago. The deal agreed at the time was that the Argentinian would pay his former club 40% of the amount he entered for a contract from the previous season each summer, which Red his star added to the agreement. That’s an extra amount, Real Madrid.
Real Madrid’s current offer for Campazzo is €1.6 million per season, but in total (before tax) it is around €900,000 net per year in Spain. Given the 45% taxation. Moreover, unlike the offer presented to him just a few months ago, the white club has now not agreed to forgive him the amount the Argentinian still owes him for paying his severance clause. Hmm. In summary, Red Star will offer Campazzo an annual tab double that of Real Madrid, plus the assumption of a significant portion of the debt with the White Club (around €700,000).
There is a second aspect that makes the return of the White Club difficult. That’s what’s included in Red Star’s offer to Campazzo. €2.5 million net (approximately €4.5 million gross) for the second year in a rowAnd third, not so important. Termination clause after the first year for a very affordable amount, only enforceable by the playerIf they match Serbia’s offer, Madrid could find out that Campazzo will leave with little compensation at the end of this season.
Real Madrid must now decide whether these conditions are met or whether he renounces his joining the Argentinian club.. Otherwise, you will also lose your right of first refusal. Since he has today, Campazzo is free to sign with other teams when his relationship with Red Star expires.
Red Star president Nebojsa Kovic has publicly confirmed the club’s interest in buying Campazzo. “As for Red Star, we’ve been working on it since the beginning, so we’ll only announce it once we’ve completed some operations,” Kovic said.
Red Star’s ability to take on transfers of this economic size is astonishing, with a week ago when the Euroleague banned Serbian clubs from registering new players for the competition until they paid off their debts. It was even more so when we announced it. I have it with some members of the current staff. Nevertheless, From Serbia, they assure us that this issue is being resolved and the veto will be lifted soon.
On the other hand, due to the intervention of the Serbian president, Alexander Vucica huge Red Star fan who apparently pulled his strings so that the Belgrade club would have the necessary financial capacity to carry out the operation.
It must be taken into consideration that Red Star are having a moment of euphoria after winning every Euroleague game (4) since Dasko Ivanovic took charge of the teamThe Belgrade side are currently on a 5-6 record, one win away from making the playoffs. Entering the qualifying rounds for the title was a very feasible goal for the Serbian club, who decided to bet decisively on Campazzo’s signing.
If the maneuver bore fruit, Campazzo met with another Argentinian international at Red Star and was also a point guard Luca Vildosawas signed by the Serbian club a few weeks ago.
