If it’s as cut dry as you suggest then I agree. It’s sounds like a dodgy way of doing things. But I’m no financial expert or accountant so maybe these people know what they are doing. Hopefully it’s not against any rules. Juventus believe they have done everything by the book the authorities think otherwise. Where have we heard that before?I don't mean dodgy in the sense of illegal or breaking the rules, but I just find in interesting that swaps used to just be the player plus the fee. Nowadays, there's always a fee for both players. So we paid £27.4m plus Danilo for Cancelo, but officially it went through at £60m-odd, and they supposedly paid over £30m for Danilo. So there must be some accounting reason for that sort of arrangement. It's not just us. Every swap seems to be like this now.
