Bumper Deal
What is a bumper deal in football?
What is the definition of a bumper deal in football?
What is the benefit of a bumper deal?
A bumper deal in football is an agreement between a football club and one of the top players (or managers) to sign a lucrative new contract or extend the existing one while increasing their salary in the process. By definition, a bumper means something extraordinarily large, abundant or full.
For example, Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho signed a bumper deal with the club, which extended his stay at Stamford Bridge for additional four years (until June 2019). In exchange, Mourinho, who led his team to the English Premier League title last season, was to receive a very large annual salary.
Bumper deals are common between clubs and their rising stars. In such a deal the player benefits from an immediate increase in salary, while the club’s benefit is increased player commitment, which adds stability to the team and enables them to plan for the future.
