Summer Mercato 2019

[ZvonimirBoban]

In theory though, why wouldn't we buy him back.

Let's say he goes on to score 20+ goals in serie a next season, we could basically have him for 10mil (if the buyback is staggared at 10mil per year). Any striker that scores 20+ goals in the league will go for AT LEAST 30mil. We get to have one for 10.

If he stays here, he won't get to develop as he won't play much. 

So in theory, we have to think of him as an "outside player" and that point and forget about the fact that he was ours.

Realistically, yes, this would be hard to accomplish for all involved. But it's an idea.

Maybe we can do this (at much lower sums) with some of our youngsters. Inter did a bunch of these deals last summer in order to comply with FFP.... but if these players turn out good in the next few years, they could buy them back. At that point they should be sitting good with FFP.

Except it's not, because we would have spent any or all of 30mil something we got from his transfer, for another player (or, 'to balance the books'). Most likely to another striker, because with 4-3-1-2 we surely can't only rely on Piatek and Silva.

If we sell him, that's our 30mil profit. If we want to buy him again, that's another 40mil or more to spend.
