So to try and make some sense of this, basically he has a release clause of €45M right now and we decided to pay a close to €10M dry loan now to delay it and pay the same release clause of €45M next summer in case he does well this season while paying also the extra €10M for the loan (or later negotiate it for less if he doesn’t do great here).
Or is it even worst as in the €45M release clause won’t be valid next summer which means if he does well here anyone can outbid us later anyway, or otherwise we’ve just wasted €10M on a dry loan.

That’s not at all what it sounds like tbh.
