Apparently this is how this goes. Although I'd like to see the end-year financials reported on this transfer.
I would have assumed they calculated corporate tax allowances used to get net positive on the transfer but apparently not. I'm curious now as to how this is written out in the books.
Why is their no information on Agent fees for any other transfer? All transfers have a 5-10% agent commission... Raiola's, in this case, was just much bigger, if the media is to be believed. There is no listing of agent fees on Vidal or any other transfer we made last summer.
Unless Raiola actually owned a percentage of Pogba's rights.... and that is what the 20-25M is.
