Did uhh...did anyone see Juventus want to renegotiate the obligation money for Kean?
I can’t really see what they can do. It’s a contract.
We over paid in the first instance, then they did. Buyers regret doesn’t get you out of a contract.
Wait for the contract to run out, offer less.
“Can we pay less for Kean?”
“No”
“No dramas thanks for answering”
Either it’s an obligation or it’s not…
Very surprised that a club with the moral fibre of Juventus could try and break the rules though
I don’t think we know the full terms of the deal though do we? That’s a genuine question by the way. If he has to play a set number of games to trigger the obligation then they may come to us in the summer and say look we’re just not going to pick him if it means we have to pay that fee so how about we renegotiate.
Easy, just give us first pick on any of your players and you can get Keane for 10p
Everything I've read about the Kean deal suggests they will have to play us the 28 million unless it's re-negotiated. I think the only conditions are over Juve's performance not his. Although with some of the crack negotiations we've done who knows?
But I expect if Juve don't want to cough up the negotiation might be that they will give us less, but this summer rather than next, to let them sell him to PSG or whoever. That way we get the cash in for a rebuild and they get him shifted on.
Juve have a contract with Everton. The fee is not Everton’s problem. There is no reason for us to vary our contract with them. Keans contract with us is immaterial.
Supposedly the deal was 6mil euros for the 2 year loan fee + they pay his wages.
If they reach the champions league in both seasons (they have done this season) then summer 2023 the loan automatically turns into a permanent transfer with a 31mil payment triggered.
So all in all its worth 37mil euros.
However, Juventus are rumoured to want to sell him to PSG (or another club) THIS summer. But the permanent deal of course hasnt kicked in yet...so its all in limbo.
The media are reporting that rather than paying the remaining 34mil (3mil loan for next year + the 31 mil fee) they prefer to do a deal with Everton for a lower fee to be paid immediately to sign him this summer.
34mil Euros is about £29mil and I would expect us to agree to £25-27.5mil to do a deal this summer so we can reinvest.
