That's disingenuous tho.

Its either 30m outright payment as most release clauses are. Or 32m to pay in 4 installments, and the player with goes his 20% cut of sell on. So they had to incentives Porto to make 8m payment per year in 4 years. Instead of outright payment of 30m.



Juve didn't have any real wiggle room for negotiation, because we had agreed on an option of 30m a year ago, and isn't much for him since he had 3 other suitors (Redbull Leipzig in particular competitive suitor). So only thing left is to negotiate a prolonged payment plan.




The learning and sobering take away from this as a fan is that Juve is alot more broke then we realize.

From what I hear it’s the 32 mil in 4 installments that was what we were actually negotiating the rest was media fodder

Obviously, because us offering 22m and them being ok with 25m, then us saying no and them then demanding 28m is just easy and lazy way to keeps to news cycle going.

It hardly made sense they were negotiating down from the 30m we initially agreed with them getting the player, when they have other suitors willing to pay the same.



Structure of the payment being the contention, after there was clear there's no haggling down the price, makes much more sense for delay.

if juve is broke, why did they waste 24m on a 4th goalie?
