I see 3 options here:
1.) We make 28m and he stays at the end of his loan. For 28m we could theoretically buy Vidal, Tevez and Pogba for less than that...which we did. Use that money wisely however Coman turns out post-Juve and no one will give a shit.
For 28M we could theoretically also buy Zaza and Hernanes. Assuming that we'll surely be able to turn 28M into transfers as good as the Vidal, Tevez and Pogba ones is very hopeful.
In addition to that, those 28M may end up be a very small amount if Coman develops the way Bayern think he's able to. Bayern is basically paying 8M to see how one of the most interesting youngsters develop in 2 years. That's a very good investment on their part.
2.) Stays for 2 years...comes back and Bayern don't take up their option then we made 8m and have a more seasoned French NT attacker with more experience and cost us absolutely nothing.
We might get a 2 year older Coman back who spent his loan rotting on the bench. That's not worth 8M. If that's the case, then we'll surely regret not selling him outright in the first place instead or using him ourselves. Or better: Loaning him without a buyout clause.
3.) Stays for 2 years...comes back and Bayern don't take up their option we still made 8 fricking million for the loan and if we don't want him he still has enough time on his contract for us to sell and make an even bigger profit...hell someone even thinks we could make 56m from him. We would have a 22 year old kid that has played for PSG, Juventus and Bayern you don't think there would be any buyers? Come on folks...
There'll always be some buyers. But if Bayern doesn't use their option to buy, then he most likely won't be worth the €20M they would have to pay. Otherwise they would have just used the option.
Either fucking way...we win. Calm down people.
While you're being overly optimistic, I'm obviously taking the negative approach. The reality is probably somewhere between the two, but claiming we win in any scenario is quite a stretch.
