Player Valuation: £50m
A case of lookin too much into somethingDon't have time to get into it now.. but intuitively its a rubbish deal for Everton.
On the face of it this appears a panic sale based on those terms.. no bothered how the Echo have tried to spin it.
28m euro in two years, if he meets certain criteria.. If he meets those criteria what do you think he could be worth then?
Ok because I got started let me say why I thinks it rubbish:
1. The sale cannot be recorded until the terms are met. So the only income we get is the loan fee.
2. As the sale cannot be recorded we will still have to amortise the contract.
3. the loan (3m annual) is not enough to cover the amortisation - please tell me my maths is wrong?
4. so annually we still losing money until the sales is confirmed.
5. We recoup the initial downpayment in a couple season, but what if he meets these criteria what could his value be now at the age of 22 or 23 vs what he is now having played for Juve for 2 years.
I've just watched this space waiting to see how the terms actually play out before judging it. So in 2024 we hope to bank a profit as his book value will be two years lower. To book that profit now would take a club to pay the full purchase price we paid when we bought him.
Maybe there are reasons for not being able to find a willing buyer for a 20 year old who played in the CL for PSG last season and has already represented his country... but the deal sucks for us.
