Jhon Lucumi - Transfer Rumour


I know so little about PSR....that's interesting. Wonder what happened? As you say depends how cash rich we are I guess. Unless we tried to get him cheap?
It's not unusual for clubs to be willing to pay a little more in order to spread the payments.

You'd have to be very cash rich not to care about this for a big transfer, very few clubs would be happy to pay a big fee in one go.

I suspect it's partially that we don't really have the cash in hand to pay so much up front, and partially that we thought we could ultimately get him for less than the release clause anyway.

I think savvy agents will soon start insisting that release clauses allow the fee to be paid in installments rather than up front.

How to take it ... Bologna genuinely trying to get a player in and Jhohnh allowed to come to us, as it was always posturing for the supporters.

Or ...

No intention of selling him, so pretend they will try for another player but 'fail' ... we would have let you go hjhon but we just couldn't fill your boots ... you're a highly valued Bologna player, maybe we'll let you go in January, if anyone is interested then.
 
S

Sounds like a get out for them “we’ll sell you if we get someone in” then just don’t bother. It’s then “not their fault” to Lucumi saying “we tried”……
aye thats what i was fearing a bit and he ends up staying but does sound like they are accepting its over. Been linked with at least 3-4 CBs to replace him now

Sounds to me like after their last game they were unhappy with him and feel his head has been turned. Wouldn't be surprised if they do want rid.
