If anyone one has any inside info or knowledge on this please let us know, because this seems very weird to me.
Benitez stated that we were asking for too much money for Sandro (here) and then we sell him to a club in the same league for (Allegedly) only £6M. If I remember correctly, Benitez was trying to haggle from £12M+ to £8M.
Leads me to believe that either:
a)Levy attempted to play hardball, failed, and sold on the cheap at the last moment.
b)Medical failed at Napoli, we know of serious injury and sold to the only club that buys players on a whim without basic due dilligence (QPR/Redknapp; for case study see Christopher Samba/Joey Barton/Adel Taarabt/Oh my god this list could go on forever)
c)The true deal is a lot more than £6M, and is actually "Levied up" with clauses, we will either get more money based on personal or team performances, or we have a cheap buy back deal that effectively makes it a loan, so if Sandro picks up his form and fitness we can get him back at little extra cost.
If anyone has any info or ITK on this please let me know, the only other alternative is that Sandro refused champions league to play for QPR, which is quite frankly ridiculous.;
Or Napoli have no money.
