It's not possible to sign him rn since he's being watched by Dortmund, Arsenal etc. Already is a great player, last year (when he was 16) he was either scoring or asisting a goal per every 45 mins. Probably one of the best at his age
Have you seen some of the owners they've allowed? Think the money laundering thing is rubbish, but the EFL is pretty lax.
I think it’s the opposite, they’re saying the prices are inflated. If the reported fee is £4 million but city only paid £2 million it gives city/fener £2 million of wiggle room to make use of.
I think it's more the point I made the other day. If the sell-on percentages are quite big but undisclosed, there can be a lot of money moving back and forth between City and Turkish clubs that aren't widely known.
The contracts spell out the terms in black and white, and could be examined if needed. Undisclosed does not refer to an ability to move funds between parties that are not accounted for and cannot be audited.
I earlier said that it was rubbish, I was explaining where the person likely tried to make the story from.
^^This. I think it's more someone business savvy saying: "Look you think he's worth £4m I get that. However, look at the mental prices they pay in England! It's bonkers. Look I'll give you £2m now, that's safe stick it in your pocket, but if the lad has a couple of good seasons in the Championship he's worth £20m. Let's split that 50/50 it's a win win me old mucker. You'll get £12m in the end, I'll get £10m and have a decent larker in the team to boot. Now come and have a look at these lovely watches"
Aren't widely known by who? These amounts can't just be hidden from anyone and everyone. If the HMRC for example wanted to examine everything they could and everything would have to be disclosed. Undisclosed just means you, I and Joe public don't see it. But that's it.
