I get the logic of doing it but it is this short term thinking that Tici seemed obsessed with that has been a big issue for us long term.
If we can ride out not making a plusvalenza it can benefit us more financially to keep him. We need a 5 year plan not a 1 year plan.
Take Soule vs Zhergrova and use the example of both being 40m players.
If we buy Zhergrova at 40m for 5 years we take a hit of 8m per year to our accounts. We also will be paying him higher wages than Soule, plus an agent fee to sign him. In 5 years he will be 30 which would limit his resale.
If we keep Soule his amortisation is basically nothing for the rest of his career here. The 40m gain made in selling him is effectively cancelled out over 5 years by keeping him in comparison to Zhergrova. His wages are low and probably would still be even after a renewal. Agent fees also lower for a renewal. In 5 years he is still only 26 and arguably not even hit his peak for resale.
I get that we need capital gains for FFP but selling low cost guys on an upward trajectory of their career is maybe not the most sensible move.
