if it has jumped from 0.2 to 2.5, %1200 might be biggest rise, not just in football but in history of mankind.
i think lille will return to greatness as long as philantrophists like giuntoli have their back.
It's not that complicated or confusing though, is it?
- Man's on his youth contract.
- Man's didn't want to get paid 1.4m aav by Lille so he was letting his contract run down to become a free agent.
- Man's got offer from Inter to come for free and that was probably 2.2-2.5m.
- Man's got swooped up by Juventus to come early and thus we had to pay his club otherwise they'd just let him run down and go to Inter for free.
- Man's not hot.
He was going to get a pay increase from his youth contract.
I've got some breaking news for you. The same thing is going to happen to Yildiz and Miretti and every other youth player that breaks into the main squad and shows they are able to play at a high level. They get a massive jump from their youth contract. Because you don't go around paying youth 1m a year (usually). They are cheap as fuck and then become more expensive when they prove that they can play at a high level.

He seems to have a very professional attitude. Already speaks basic Italian.
I'm sure he immediately started learning once the Inter interested became a real offer.
