Jose Mourinho, Jurgen Klopp and Arsene Wenger sharing the same views on a football-related matter? Yes, it finally happened!
With Neymar's transfer to PSG being confirmed in the last couple of hours, the three bosses shared their views on the effect this move will have in the world of football.
The first one to share his views was Jürgen Klopp. The German boss criticized PSG's approach on the matter, as they clearly breached the concept of Financial Fair Play.
"I thought Fair Play was made so that situations like that can't happen. That's more of a suggestion than a real rule," Liverpool's coach stated.
His voice was followed swiftly by Arsene Wenger, who labeled the move as "irrational".
Once a country owns a club everything is possible and it becomes difficult to respect Financial Fair Play. I always plead for football to live within its own resources. The inflation is accelerating. We crossed the £100m line and then a year a later we crossed the £200m. It's beyond calculations and rationality," Le Prof added.
Next up was José Mourinho, who went even further in his analysis. The Special One praised Neymar's quality, but somehow agreed with Wenger when it came to talk about the effects of inflation in the asking price for footballers.
"Neymar is one of the best players in the world, commercially he is very strong and for sure PSG thought about it. So I think the problem is not Neymar, I think the problem is the consequences of Neymar," Mourinho stated.
"Expensive are the ones who get into a certain level without a certain quality. For £200m, I don't think he's expensive. I think he's expensive in the fact that now you are going to have more players at £100m, you are going have more players at £80m and more players at £60m. And I think that's the problem," the Portuguese boss added.
So, is Neymar's record-breaking deal something that will change the face of football in years to come?
