Wages
They sell him now for €4mill and get rid of his wage.
They loan him out to us for a loan fee about €800.000, gets rid of his wage and sell him for €3mill next summer.

A loan to us would suit Ben Arfa far more than signing a 5 year contract with us.
Yeah, but its Marseille who turned down the bid, not Ben Arfa himself.
