Tavares wants a befitting increase and does not agree to an extension

Possibly talk of his new contract Eddie Tavares be premature. After all, his current contract with Real Madrid from 2019 expires in the summer of 2024.

However, since the Blancos do not want to get involved in adventures, haggling with other applicants and a dubious round of negotiations, they have already approached the 30-year-old center from Cape Verde to discuss the option of an early extension.

According to Marca, the two-time best defender in the EuroLeague is discussing it. He’s bonded with the team and really likes the city, so there’s a strong base there. However, there is currently a huge gap between the two sides over the financial part of a new deal. And that’s because Tavares is demanding an increase in annual salaries.

The beastly big man knows this will be the last major contract of his career. Therefore, he should not be condescending but demanding as he is a player with great influence on Real’s game who has proven how useful he is when he hits the ground. Therefore he should be rewarded as such.

At the same time, a very serious concern arises from the high level of taxation imposed by the Spanish state, which does not allow it to keep most of its money. Therefore he demands the covering of this “hassura” and an increase in his net income.

In the first phase, Real people don’t want to open up the budget that much and don’t seem willing to go the distance. But they will be forced to do something better than what they told him to do. Otherwise they’ll run after him, because it’s certain that Tavare’s proposals will come to him from groups of countries with different tax statuses.
