It does though. Not exactly free auto extension, but it is representative of players choosing a winning team over money. NBA, NFL, and football all have big name examples. (Payton Manning took a pay cut so NFL team could budget other players he needed to play with for a title shot. LeBron James is a big NBA example, has stayed with Cleveland for title shots instead of chasing cash)
Neymar earlier this season...PSG tried hard to get him...
My first idea represents that, but reducing some players' wages not an exciting reward, a pop up saying "Neymar stays loyal to Barça and waives his latest signing bonus to support his champion winning club!" is exciting enough.He was very close to PSG. He would have earned €40m a year, free,”
“Neymar was also close to a move to Manchester United. But he renewed his contract for less money with Barcelona, because he wanted to stay in Barcelona.”
