Summer Mercato 2019

Lucci is at Milan an awful lot for someone whose client wants to stay...

Are you the member "papaberlu" at R&B? 
Because he wrote that there recently. Same comment, 3 periods at the end. You either are, or you copy/paste his comment here. Either way is cool. Just interesting.

On Cutrone......
Why can't we structure a deal in the following way....
Sell for 30mil. Include a buyback clause at 35mil next year, 40mil the following year and 45mil the year after that. If he turns out any good, we can get him back at a preset price for tge following 3 yrs. The club that buys him basically gets 5/10/15mil just for "developing" Cutro. Everyone's a winner. We get to cover 30mil of FFP problem this summer, cutro gets to develop, team that buys him gets a striker, we get to buy him back if he's good, and that team makes extra cash along the way while using Cutro for 2-3 year for "free" (at that point)

The question is, which kind of team wants to do that?

If he turns out to be that good, his new club would want to retain him or selling him for maybe 50-60M. They will not want to be trapped in buyback clause.

I agree. Maybe the clause is larger. Staggered at 7-8 or even 10 mil each season. In 3 seasons they could make 20+ or even 30mil. 

Not saying it'll be easy to do it, but Juve/Real did it with  Morata.

Meeting scheduled for today between Milan and Veretout's agent to file the remaining details and move to the next step which is formalizing an offer to Fiorentina [@CorSport]

It will be more reasonable for the buyer that way, yes; but then it is likely Milan that won't get any benefit. No way we will end up buying our ex-player for that kind of price. Never in history. Any comeback player comes cheap or on loan  

Morata is a strange case where the player itself is relatively low quality (compared to his price), but actually both clubs kinda like him enough. No idea why.

i wont take morata for 20 mil

In theory though, why wouldn't we buy him back.

Let's say he goes on to score 20+ goals in serie a next season, we could basically have him for 10mil (if the buyback is staggared at 10mil per year). Any striker that scores 20+ goals in the league will go for AT LEAST 30mil. We get to have one for 10.

If he stays here, he won't get to develop as he won't play much. 

So in theory, we have to think of him as an "outside player" and that point and forget about the fact that he was ours.

Realistically, yes, this would be hard to accomplish for all involved. But it's an idea.

Maybe we can do this (at much lower sums) with some of our youngsters. Inter did a bunch of these deals last summer in order to comply with FFP.... but if these players turn out good in the next few years, they could buy them back. At that point they should be sitting good with FFP.

I like the idea of a buyback clause, but I don't think it is very common in Italy. I know that Barcelona and Real Madrid do that a lot. Didn't we try to do that with Locatelli when he transferred to Sassuolo (at least that's what rumor suggested)? But the player himself didn't want it (also that's what rumors suggested).

So maybe in the end, the teams have to be attractive enough (Barcelona/RM tier) for the players to even want it.
