Bielsa obviously wants this guy because he has now offered to take De Paul on a season loan with a promise to buy next year, which can get the total to what Pozzo wants. So a loan fee now and then an agreed fee next year? being creative we could end up with a £10m loan fee and a transfer fee of £27m next year which should tick everyones boxes?
As long as we're not obliged to buy him, that sounds fine. Gives us a good, relatively cheap look at him playing Bielsaball before committing.
