If you see this transfer from FFP point of view, it is good. Spizza is our youth product, so all the transfer fee (29.5M) will count as profit. When we buy Pellegrini for 22M, with 4-5 year of contract, the amortiasation per year will be only around 4-5M, so we gain around 25M in FFP perspective for this year, which is very helpful considering we need to meet FFP requirement after all of Ronaldo/Cancelo/D.Costa transfers last year.
This transfer also allow us to not be low-balling by Man City in Cancelo deal. Mcity knows we need to balance our FFP books, so they are low-balling us on Cancelo with their 50M offer. With Spizza deals, we are in much better position, so we can afford to go hard ball.
We are not so rich, so sometimes sacrifies must be made.
