That was then, but after reading the rumours about City's interest, I'm not sure anymore. Perhaps there's no such a thing as "obligation to buy" and it's just a usual loan with option to buy.
Either way, I hope he'll stay. In todays football it's almost impossible to find a player of his capability and proven records for 24 millions.
Actually, from what can be read everywhere, Ibra isn't officially a Milan player yet (loan) but will be kept at the end of the season no matter what ... So you are right, it isn't an option but an obligation to buy.
But at the same time, we can do whatever we want once he is our player, if we want to send him on loan with the same kind of deal (loan + sale then), or with another deal (simple loan or simple sale), we can do it ...
So if the guy goes to Manchester City for example, he will go there by coming from Milan and not Barcelona ...
It's the way I see this deal work !!
And anyway, Ibra has to stay at least next season too.
One should not speak ill of the dead.
So stop laughing at Juventus !
