Believe it's for training and development costs.
But the club will obviously pay hidden fees to the agent, player himself and other costs for image stuff and so on like normal.
Think we're all hoping he's a squad place swap for Aspas and Borini. Hopefully nothing more. Dubious about him but he should improve on those two wastes.
It's not the way it works though. By the training and development costs theory you'd pay the same for 2 players who joined the club at the same time and spent the same time at the club even if one's **** and one's Messi-like. Compensation always takes into account ability and transfer value, as that's what they're trying to assess.
