I interpreted that as not paying them the 40m but your interpretation makes more sense and is even more genius. No obligation to buy at that point. We may not have the money to pay him due to lack of European football so we would need to renegotiate to sign him again at that point if we still wanted him. It’s the perfect hedge to a buy IMO, because you match your cash flows to the situation. I would imagine we still have the option at 40M but it is not mandatory.I don’t fully comprehend to economic rights part? Plus, could the unthinkable happen and we don’t qualify for Europe, thereby not signing him?
Unlikely as that is, it scares me
