ACB Liga Endesa: Coldness between Tavares and Madrid with the renewal in the background

El actual Walter Tavares contract with Real Madrid ends in June 2024. There is still time for it to expire. However, the first contacts to expand it, carried out a few weeks ago, have considerably alienated the two parties. The pivot considers that his salary has become obsolete in relation to the market and, above all, due to his status of the most decisive player in Europe. Or at least between the interiors. The white club refers him to a salary policy that prevents you from exceeding certain amounts.

When they are made lists with the highest paid players in Europealmost never appears one of Madrid. Tavares earns 3.5 million euros gross, although after taxes they remain around 1.8 million. There are numerous stars on the continent that are above that figure, but few if any He has the same impact on the game as the Madrid colossuswhich aspires to have this detail recognized in economic terms.

When the relationship with Madrid expires, the center will be 32 years old and, given that his beginnings in basketball were late, everything indicates that it will be able to offer great performance for much longer. Now he is at his best moment and he wants to take the opportunity to sign what could be one of the biggest contracts of his career.

Both he and his family love Madrid, he feels loved at the club and is very Madridista, but also He knows that there are clubs in Europe that will open the doors for him and in which, due to better fiscal conditions, You could receive in net what you now earn in gross. That is, that they doubled his salary.

Not to mention the hypothetical team that can be created in Dubai and that threatens to blow up the Euroleague market or calls from the NBA, although not specified for now in offers. Of course, they should be succulent enough to dare to pay their termination clause, similar to the one that Facundo Campazzo hadif your wish is to go out next summer, something that is not being considered for now.

The truth is that when Tavares signed his contract in June 2019, he was not the current player. He had weight in Madrid, but now he is a capital figure. To his natural defensive skills he has been adding a constant offensive growth, an improvement in the reading of the game and also in the ability to pass. Sometimes it is the beacon in attack. in the Euroleague he is averaging 10.5 points, he is the second leading rebounder with 7.2 sacks per gameleads the block statistics with an average of 2.5 (plus the shots he forces to change) and reaches 16.7 valuation credits.

It is evident that he is dealing with a player like no other in Europe, that he will not lack succulent offers, that If Madrid wants to retain him, they may have to break their salary ceilings and that for this he would probably need the acquiescence of President Florentino Pérez. There is plenty of time left to try to bring the distant current positions closer, but it may influence that the whites must undertake more crucial renovations at the same time: Gabriel Deck and Dzanan Musatwo other props, also end their respective contracts in 2024.
