✍🏼𝗗𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗗𝗘𝗔𝗟! GORDON TO BARCELONA! CASEMIRO TO MIAMI & BECKHAM IS A BILLIONAIRE!

Added: 2026-05-28

[00:00:03]Welcome to Half24. Today in the show, true transfer madness in the Premier League. Elliot Anderson has already agreed a contract with Manchester City until 2031.

[00:00:14]A transfer paradox at the camp. Now, why did Barcelona grudge 30 million for Rashford but is ready to lay out 85 for Gordon? Also today, Florentino Perez is preparing a sensational sale of Real Madrid right after the elections, while meanwhile, David Beckham has officially become a billionaire and is finalizing the transfer of Casemiro to enter Miami via a clever scheme where on paper he receives less than $2 million and behind the scenes, a cosmic 88 million. We talk about all this and much more right now.

[00:00:51]David Beckham, billionaire officially.

[00:00:54]Forbes confirmed. The man who was booed by the whole world after the red card at the 1998 World Cup is now in the club of the richest people on the planet. Wealth over a billion dollars. And this is not football. This is business. Let us get to the point. In 2020, Beckham used an option in the contract with MLS and received the right to found a club for $25 million, a fixed price, which he agreed back in 2007 when he was signing the contract with Los Angeles Galaxy. That is, he literally negotiated this 13 years in advance. Who else thinks like that? And do you know what is most interesting? Today, Inter Miami is valued at $1.4 4 billion from $25 million to $1.4 billion ROI,00% in 6 years. This is not an investment.

[00:01:51]This is a legend. And now attention. The key moment this is of course Messi. The partnership with Apple and Netflix gave the club a global reach and the arrival of Messi in 2023 made Miami not just an MLS club but a world brand. Add here.

[00:02:08]Suarez, Buskets, Alba, and you get a club followed by the whole world.

[00:02:14]Beckham built not just a team, he built a show. And here now to this club, the billiondoll club of Beckham goes Casemiro. As a free agent, almost for nothing from a financial point of view, but this is already a separate story which we will tell about in detail.

[00:02:30]Right now, >> the transfer series around the future of Casemiro is officially closed, and the Brazilian is already packing suitcases to sunny Florida.

[00:02:40]>> The five-time Champions League winner leaves Manchester United in the status of a free agent, having played his last match against Nottingham Forest. The most authoritative insiders of the world led by Fabitzio Romano and Tom Bogurt from The Athletic in one voice confirmed. The move to enter Miami is unavoidable, meaning it can be considered practically closed. Even the future teammate of the Brazilian, Tasco Segoia, has already accidentally leaked this scoop to journalists directly stating that the 34year-old defensive midfielder is coming to them. Casemiro firmly chose exactly the American project of David Beckham, turning down insane bags of money from Saudi brands because he wants to close all legal matters before the start of the 2026 World Cup where he was called up by Carlo Anchelotti into the squad of the Brazil national team. But now attention because here begins the true higher mathematics of the American football business. In fact, the bosses from Florida are forced to spin crazy backroom schemes due to the strict regulations of MLS. Firstly, the management of Miami had to pay around $400,000 of compensation to the club Los Angeles Galaxy, which had the primary discovery rights for the player within the United States. Ahead is an even bigger headache. All three designated player slots are occupied in the team where Lionel Messi, Rodrigo Depal, and German Bertoim sit under the salary cap.

[00:04:09]Because of this, the official salary of Casemiro according to the documents of the league for the first half of the year will amount to a modest less than $2 million a year. A similar trick was previously pulled off here with Jordi Alba. But do not worry about the poor Brazilian who in England was receiving around $26 million.

[00:04:31]Insiders from One Football claim that behind the scenes, the real earnings of the player can reach a cosmic $88 million a year. This money trickles past the official limit thanks to a unique commercial package. Casemiro will receive a direct percentage from new international Apple TV subscriptions and shirt sales from Adidas. and local corporations of Florida have already prepared separate advertising contracts for him. My opinion, this is an absolutely brilliant managerial move from Beckham and a pure salvation for the team. The acting head coach, GMO Hoyos, receives a luxurious and ironclad replacement for Sergio Busquettes, who ended his career at the end of 2025.

[00:05:11]Inter Miami is currently leading the league in goals scored, but has catastrophic trash and defense, having conceded the most in MLS after quick counterattacks of opponents. Casemiro will become that very iron surgical anchor that will burn out the defensive zone and bring order there. Legally, he will play for pennies, but factually his account will be replenished twice as fast as in Manchester. And what do you think, friends? Will Casemiro be able to close the problem zone in the United States straight away? Or will the American pace after a hard season in the Premier League turn out to be too exhausting? Leave your comments.

[00:05:53]>> A week ago, Everton was sure Greish is returning to them on loan. And now this certainty has crumbled because Mariscal wants to talk to Greish personally. And this conversation can change everything.

[00:06:05]Let us look at the facts. Everton was planning a meeting with the players camp back in April to discuss a second loan.

[00:06:12]Everything looked logical. Guardiola stays. Greish is not needed by him.

[00:06:17]Everton waits. But then Guardiola announced his departure and the picture changed instantly. According to information from the Mirror, Marisa plans personal negotiations with Greish.

[00:06:29]The new coach believes that the 30-year-old winger can be a part of City's future. Not a ballast, not a problem, but a full-fledged player of the new system. And do you know what is most interesting here? Marisa at Chelsea love technical players with the ball at their feet. Greish is exactly that type.

[00:06:48]Guardiola was gradually ceasing to see a place for him in his scheme. Marisa is a completely different person with a different vision. And now attention, this is where Everton is in a difficult situation. The club was already mentally preparing for his return. building plans and now it waits for the decision of the player on which it no longer has any influence. For Greish, this is the best news in two years. Not a loan to a mid-table side, but a chance to rehabilitate himself where everything went wrong. Marisa gives him an opportunity to prove that the problem was in the coach and not in the player.

[00:07:23]If Greish is healthy and motivated, I would use this chance because there will not be a second one like it.

[00:07:32]A transfer bomb flew in from where it was not expected. The sporting director of the Catalan's Deco pulled off a secret special operation in London. And now Barcelona is conducting direct official negotiations with Newcastle regarding the transfer of the main diamond of the England national team Anthony Gordon. While Bayern and Liverpool were slowly counting their budgets, the Catalan boss personally convinced the 25-year-old winger to choose exactly the project of Hansy Flick. Anthony himself got so fired up by this idea that he has already publicly set his priorities. Only camp new and period. Insiders of Mundo Deportivo and Fabitio Romano shout in one voice, "The Magpies are forced to sell the leader this summer due to the tight vises of financial fair play." So, the Blogranas are trying to close the deal as quickly as possible. And now we unfold this tactical and financial context layer by layer. Uh firstly, the guy delivered a simply phenomenal season, racking up 17 goals and five assists, of which as many as 10 goals he bagged in the Champions League. Flick sees and Gordon a universal weapon capable of closing both the position of the left winger and playing through the middle of the attack, which for the Catalons with their financial difficulties is a true life boy.

[00:09:00]Secondly, Newcastle is in an ironclad negotiating position. His contract is valid until June 2030. Therefore, the management of the Magpies set a tough price tag of €85 million and does not intend to take less. And do you know why they hold on so tightly to every penny?

[00:09:19]It turned out that during the first transfer from Everton, the Murzy Ciders propped in a clever clause. They will receive 15% of the net profit from the next sale of Anthony. And know what?

[00:09:29]While this episode was being edited, Fabitio Romano issued two consecutive urgent scoops that completely changed the rules of the game. Firstly, Barcelona and Anthony Gordon reached a 100% full agreement regarding personal contract terms. The Englishman agreed to all points. Secondly, the Catalans are not just conducting negotiations. They want to close the transfer already by the end of this week. The management of the blog ranas is currently in maximum confidence. Deco conducts direct clubtoclub bargaining with Newcastle around a total package in the region of €80 million. And right now everyone is waiting only for the final green light from the bosses of the magpies. In fact, Laaporta and company are deliberately going for a crazy preemptive strike in order to beat the offers of the Premier League clubs and Bayern, which are still conducting active backroom work. Barca itself initially valued the Englishmen at €60 million and tried to break the installments over years, while the financially more stable Bayern was already giving 70 million euros and German and English clubs were ready to bargain up to 80 million. But these 80 million euros from Catalonia which appeared on the negotiation table right now are a real allin. I think this story is a litmus test of whether the modern Barcelona is capable at all of truly competing for top transfers.

[00:11:00]>> No Englishman at the peak of his career leaves the Premier League for Spain just like that. And for Anthony, this is a big risk. But wanting to play at the camp new and actually laying out around 80 million euros are completely different things. If Deco still presses this deal in a matter of days, it will be the main managerial triumph of the club in recent years. However, if the magpies at the last moment close the door in front of him due to the payment format, Munich or the Premier League clubs will punish instantly. It seems to me we have already seen similar series, but this final is being written right before our eyes. Friends, if you watched up to this moment, then subscribe to the channel. It is not hard for you and it is pleasant for us. And while you are subscribing, we move further.

[00:11:49]And now hold a true transfer paradox from which the fans of the Catalans are already starting to frankly melt. While Deco conducts negotiations in London regarding Anthony Gordon, Marcus Rashford found himself in the shadow of this mega deal. Authoritative British insiders from the Athletic and Sky Sports assert in one voice, "If Barcelona still presses Newcastle and signs Gordon, the transfer of Rashford on a permanent basis will be officially and definitively buried. The Catalan simply physically will not pull two elite English wingers, neither by the transfer budget nor by the salary cap of La Liga. The year 2026 can become a point of no return for Marcus because his luxurious stage in Spain risks to suddenly break off. Let us get to the point because the situation looks absolutely absurd. Rashford has just played a gorgeous season at the camp new on loan for Manchester United completely adapted to the league and brought the team a crazy 14 goals and 14 assists.

[00:12:54]The coach personally gave the management the green light for his buyout and insider Matteo Morettto confirmed that the player himself for the sake of Catalonia agreed to a gigantic slash of his salary by 40% and is ready to sign a contract until 2032.

[00:13:11]The Manunians give him away for a ridiculous 30 million just to close the matter. And right here the trash begins.

[00:13:19]Barcelona grudges these 330 million with a single check and asks for another loan. Manchester United says no. The stalemate drags on and this is already being used by Aston Villa which has put forward an official offer regarding the buyout of the player. That is a ready proven performer for next to nothing.

[00:13:40]The club risks to basely lose simply because of the unwillingness to sign a paper on time. The logic of the Catalans is phenomenal. 30 million for an adapted top winger is too expensive, but 85 million for a new one, let us talk. But still, I think all this managerial chaos has a tactical basis under it from the coach. Rashford spent a brilliant year as a free artist, but for his vertical system, a ruthless, pressing monster is needed who burns the field from flag to flag and is ready to work his socks off in the defensive phase. Gordon is exactly such a systematic and durable warrior hardened by the hellish pace of the Premier League. The board of directors is ready to sacrifice the profitable Marcus to give the German his ideal tactical tool. However, if they overpay three-fold, turn their pockets inside out, and the new player does not work out, do not be forgiven for this step. And what do you think, friends? Is it worth giving up the proven Rashford after a season of 14 plus4 for the sake of the wildly expensive football player of the Magpies? Or is this pure foolishness of the management?

[00:14:51]While United was afraid to even think about such numbers, City made a move that could become the loudest transfer of the Premier League this summer. Pep Guardiola left, concluding a great era.

[00:15:02]And the new boss of the citizens, Enzo Marisa, signed a contract for three years and immediately received the task of a lifetime to take Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest. Between City and the 23-year-old midfielder, there is already an agreement in principle, a luxurious contract all the way until 2031.

[00:15:22]>> Over 110 million pounds for this guy is not just an investment in the future. It is a purchase of a ready-made superstar who is worth every penny and is capable of guaranteeing a result here and now on his own. This is where the real trash begins. Anderson got to Forest in 2024.

[00:15:41]Newcastle, due to financial fair play rules, hurriedly sold him for 35 million pounds without any protective clauses.

[00:15:49]And coach Eddie How later openly called it the theft of the decade. He did not exaggerate. This season, Anderson delivered an absolute space in the toughest league of the world, becoming the best in the Premier League by the number of accurate passes. His radiocrolled deliveries and splendid performances for the England national team of Thomas Tukul prove the guy is ready for pressure of any scale. With a market value at 60 million euros and a contract until June 2029, the owner of the Foresters, Evangelos Marinakis, set a wild price tag of 145 million for the leader. United immediately passed before this price war considering the sum crazy, but City clearly understands what unique quality it is bargaining for in order to close the hole in the center of the field after the departure of Bernardo Silva.

[00:16:41]My conclusion here is unambiguous. This is a transfer masterclass. City takes proven quality for its new system. As if Pep leaving the club wrote a note to Moresca, sign Anderson and everything will be fine. His unique vision of the field and ability to orchestrate the game, this is exactly what will save the team during the change of eras. The real value of the deal after negotiations will make somewhere between 100 and 120 million. And if the citizens close this move, they will close the position for years ahead with a player who from the very first round will start to deliver results.

[00:17:21]>> On the 7th of June 2026, Real Madrid conducts presidential elections which for the first time in the last 20 years will go with a real rival. And if Florentino Perez gains a total route with a result of 80 or 90% of the votes of the Socios, he plans to immediately begin the sale of the club shares to outside investors. Yes, you did not miss here. This is the main bomb of world football that exploded right now. The addition Vuli and the source Madrid zone confirmed that the voting will begin at 9 in the morning and end at 20:00 in the evening local time. Perez needs this total victory in order to obtain absolute legitimacy, call an extraordinary assembly, and conduct a referendum to change the historic ownership model of the Blanos. Behind the scenes, this crazy project is being promoted by his right-hand Anis Lagrari.

[00:18:16]And competition for Perez in the elections will be made by an ambitious 37year-old businessman and head of the energy company Cox Energy Enrique Raquelme who has already directly stated these could be the last elections at Real Madrid because after them privatization will come. And now let us break this down a little more contextually because here hides the main question. Why sell Real Madrid at all if it is the most profitable sports organization on the planet? Let us start with numbers. The Royal Club tops the world revenue rating from Deote for three seasons in a row. Over the past period, the Madrid side earned 1 bill161 million. And for the current financial year, they completely set an absolute world record crossing the mark of€1 bill200 million. Commerce alone brought€594 million euros. Plus, a contract with Emirates until 2031 guarantees€74 million euros per season. And new negotiations with Adidas should raise the cost of sponsorship on the shirts to a cosmic €300 million.

[00:19:26]Even despite the fact that the team under the leadership of Alvaro Arbaloa reached only the quarterfinals of the Champions League, revenues from the stadium amounted to €233 million. And proportional profits from the summer performance of the club of Shabi Alonso at the club world cup are still trickling into the cash box. And do you know what is most interesting?

[00:19:47]Technically, we are talking about a sale of 5 to 10% of the shares through the creation of a new commercial subsidiary company. This is already the second economic lever of Perez after he sold 20% of the profits of the Santiago Bernabu to the company's Sixth Street and Legends for 360 million. Now he plans to attract from the outside from 500 million to 1 billion.

[00:20:13]Perez himself says that if someone is ready to pay such mad money for a symbolic share, this is the best confirmation of the value of Madrid. I think Perez sells Real Madrid not because money is needed but because it is power. A strategic investor for a billion euros is not a shareholder. It is an ally on a level where not clubs play anymore but states and funds. Perez builds not just a football club. He built a corporation. On the 7th of June we will find out whether the members of the club will support him in this.
