Player Valuation: £100m
Nah mate it’s happening all the time covert loans in place in place for eventual sales with the particulars negotiated to suit PSR requirements that might be at players.
It’s not the same as a straight sale the player Ammortisation goes into an additional year, so you get the benifit of an additional year a amortisation of the book price.
Maupays obligation will see him essentially be pure profit for us as his contract will be fully ammortisatied by the end of this season - that’s why did a loan.
I want debating the point I was making to be honest, just making illustrating it.![]()
Yes the loan is for a season at a minimal amount -- then when converted at the end of the season the total kicks in.
This as you say benefits us with PSR as the players amotised fee has dropped a year, in the case of Maupay it will be 100% profit on book value.
However you had given an example where the FULL cost of a player is paid immediately as a LOAN ..then the player is transferred permanently AFTER the loan.
This would make no sense at all as it may as well be a transfer.
