But why not just loan him out, with a loan fee, and sell him on again after loan expires if that's the case? :lol:

Sounds kind of silly to in essence pay another club £25m to take him for a year in the hope that he flourishes so you can sell him. Im sure there must be several clubs willing to pay them for a years loan.

Maybe Citeh think there is a good chance of him not quite hitting their level, so having a below-market-value option and cash in hand now is better than hanging onto him. A loan will expose him to playing in a poorer side. The buyback means limited reward for the buyer for a lot of risk, changing the whole deal.

 

For the player, he gets to play CF (presumably) and develop further. Rashford won't be playing CF at Man U.

 

Based on this and the talk of a fee for the Tammy Abraham loan, it's hard to see us buying or loaning anyone from the PL.

Didn't realised Chelsea had raised about £100m in transfer fees this summer. Probably a lot more than that if we think of loan fees to the likes of Zouma and Abraham too.

Barca can improve themselves quite easily with the money, so I'd be really happy with this situation if I cared about them.

 

I just don't trust our board with any money to be frank. Our transfer record speaks for itself. That said, if that money buys us Coutinho+a good left sided forward, I'll be happy.

I'd be shocked if they improved themselves given their transfers recently mind

Perhaps they can improve the balance of the team but they aren't replacing Neymar.

 

They might've just been forced to sell a top 5 player in the World. Unless they buy Cristiano they're not improving their attack, with that said, Barcelona has looked so horrible defensively for a few years now that maybe they can do something about that.

1/2 PSG going to La Liga offices this afternoon. La Liga say they will NOT accept €220m payment to trigger Neymar release clause

 

2/2 La Liga: "We will not accept the money for the clause. We have doubts this money is in accordance with UEFA Financial Fair Play rules."

Aye their decision making (Neymar and Suarez aside)  had been terrible for like 5 years.

 

I wouldn't trust them to sign the right players personally.

Besides the fact they obviously want to help us and force PSG to bargain with us directly (although La Liga's president is a self-admitted and vocal Real Madrid fan), Spanish clubs have been making noises about how discriminatory the mandatory release clause system is vs. other European clubs, and the Neymar case is seen as a way to push the issue.
