I read in l'Equipe, that if it's a loan with an obligation, UEFA may have count it on this summer, so you have a Neymar, Mpabbe transfer in the same window.
An option, would mean that the transfer wouldn't count for this summer.
I think that the same we do, similar to Benatia, Costa, it's written as an option but we know it's an obligation IRL.
Yes, that's that.
You can loan a player with an option like "if PSG stays in Ligue 1, they have to buy him", and we all know PSG will still be in ligue 1 next year. Almost all clubs do that when they don't want a transfer fee to appear in the current fiscal year calculs.
Now lets talk about L'Equipe, and their crusade against PSG.
L'Equipe is saying some wrong things according to Paris-United.
L'Equipe is saying mbappé will earn 18m per year. It's false according to PU who said 10.5m
L'Equipe is saying it's 180m without bonus, while all the other sources give 145m+35m bonus. They do that often, so that the fees seem even more outrageous to their readers (who in majority hate PSG)
So far PU got everything right, while L'Equipe is pretty awful when it's about PSG.
And L'Equipe overall seems to be anti PSG, and every days publishes an article of how PSG will be excluded of CL because of FFP. Their last interview of the FFP leader by Etienne Moatti from yesterday is a piece of shit. All the questions are oozing with a "when will you sanction PSG, pretty please, I want them out" feeling.
I think FFP will punish them in some ways, but L'Equipe is just ridiculing itself at the moment.
