You post like it is a done deal and we are going to buy him in 6 months, crystal balls?
Why would a team loan out their best striker for 2.5 mil €? If we could just send him back after his loan that would be a great deal for us and a terrible one for Cagliari.
We could get a decent striker for just 2.5 mil, have him score a few goals and help us improve our position, and in the summer we could send him back and get a new striker. On the other hand Cagliari cant replace him on the last day of the market (especially for just 2.5 mil €), and they'd lose their best striker for the rest of the season. For just 2.5 mil €. Do you really think they would make such a terrible deal on the last day of the market for just 2.5 mil €, basically nothing? They're not idiots.
Furthermore, all the reports of the negotiations said that Cagliari wanted guarantees we would buy him. Marotta made a promise we will take the option, if we dont that would make him lose all credibility in future negotiations, which would be terrible for us and also make him proactically unemployable in Italy. Do you nreally think he'd do that?
In short, we're 99% taking the option.
