If this is true, Levy is a fucking genius.

Also explains why it’s taken so long and probably had to happen towards the end of the window once we knew where we were on other deals.

PSG are going to love us screwing them out of some cash ??‍♂️?

Don't worry about it. Foreign clubs do these deals all the time. It is effectively just finance spreading to get around clauses and shift money around different financial periods (usually for FFP).

Doesn't effect the deal one jot and we will pay him as if he's ours.

Knowing UEFA, now we want to do it, they’ll make them illegal or something ?

Betis owe them, not us.

If the reported details are true, then it's nothing short of a masterclass by Levy. BSoDL is back in full swing boysssssssss

I suspect that was part of the deal for ****inho too. Large loan fee up front with obligation to buy at reduced price a year later.

Yup we are just doing a deal to buy a player, if Betis are pulling a fast one on PSG how are we supposed to know?
Still can't shake the feeling that it was Levy that came up with the idea though:)

So basically, main targets done.

Next up, shift Eriksen and bring home a South American present from Miami.......ok that could have been phrased better :cautious:

Yes agreed, and the Coutinho loan "bid" seems now to be a great card to play with Betis to get this over the line with them.

This is the one I wanted more than any other. The lad is class. Watched Betis a few times last year and a family friend is a supporter from Seville. Lo Celso was one of the best in La Liga last year. Ecstatic we have him!

Ah I get it.

16m as an initial loan So PSG get none of that

That leaves 40m. PSG don’t get 20% of the first 25m approx as that’s what Betis paid them for Lo Celso.

That leaves just 20% of 15m for PSG which is 3m

PSG have been done up a kipper, lets hope they dont buy dybala just to spite us haha

Question; why are we only going for a loan? Is it to cover for the crazy amount we're buying Dybala for?

Said it on the front page with my expert scout analysis, he is our most important purchase alongside Ndombele this window, he will be absolutely immense under Poch.
