It was the only escape route from Roma after some crazy fans turned up at his home. It was always a stop gap for him going there and I am sure Gala deep down knew that. For them it was a win win of a good player, and an inevitable profit come a year or 2. That said, all transfers are a risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we can try Carlos there, I think he was left sided at Sevilla. On topic, I'm not convinced by Zaniolo but maybe that means he's exactly the type of player Emery could get a tune out of him like his collection of prem rejects at Villarreal (Coquelin, Foyth, Danjuma, etc) Edited August 13, 2023 by wict01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the rumours have suggested a mandatory buy, it’s all been option to buy. I don’t get how this benefits Galatasaray either but obviously based on the rumours the deal is close so obviously it’s something they do but no mandatory option has been said anywhere as far as I am aware.

Things really turned sour at Roma and he had to leave for somewhere. The only concrete options were Bournemouth or Galatasary, he chose Galatasary probably under the agreement that they’d let him leave fairly easily if a team from a higher league came in for him. For Gala they get a good player for a while and the potential to make a quick profit, so it made sense to agree to that. As to why a loan deal, we are reportedly offering a loan fee and probably the “option” to buy will become mandatory under certain conditions. Galatasary probably know that his injury record will put a lot of teams off, probably why they were one of the only teams in for him in January, so by allowing a loan first that might be a way for them to add another few million to the deal. The total package reportedly offered is €3m loan fee, €20m + €7m optional transfer fee + add ons which is double the €15m they paid in January - that’s why it makes sense for them Edited August 13, 2023 by david-avfc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the same as what Arsenal are doing with Raya, loan now and buy later to get around FFP. He was a record transfer for the Turkish League at 15m, they aren't just loaning him out for 3m. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except that Arsenal's deal for Raya is not a compulsory purchase. They do have a choice. That's why he extended his Brentford contract first, so that if it doesn't work out with Arsenal, Brentford can sell him next summer to someone else.
