From what I can gather in 2020 Palmieras' top player earned a little over $4M usd. They have a decent budget and can spend more throughout their roster but if the highest bid wins the player you have to think TFC have a legitimate advantage. Nothing in our recent history tells me we are shy about spending on the top end of the roster.
Yes for sure. Very different spending environment. Was more trying to paint the picture that the two teams we're up against certainly have the finances to spend on Borre if they want to. Without easily available salary numbers it's tough to compare annual spend for a team. Historical transfers and market values at least give us a proxy.
