It’s unlikely these loans have anything to do with transfers. I do this kind of thing for a living and this is a very common type of transaction for businesses with large, but irregular cash flows. Think of it as if instead of getting your paycheck twice a month you got it once a year. That’d be really inconvenient for you because you have to pay stuff like rent and groceries much more often than that. If you had that arrangement with your employer, like City does with television money, it would be worth paying someone a small amount of the future income to get the money now. It’s exactly the same thing and nothing about it really indicates that something is about to happen as result.

So it's just another clickbait article from Sun, am I getting it right? "Early summer spending spree"...

Yeah much more likely than not. It just matches up City’s cash outflows (salary, maintenance, whatever investments they’re doing, previous transfer commitments, whatever) to cash inflows.

Seem to remember similar happening around Christmas time too.
 
Don't like the look of him still 'making up his mind'. Totally fair enough from him as a boyhood Atletico fan and making a huge decision but from Pep's perspective I don't think it bodes well. He likes players who are 100% committed to the cause and this hiatus might mean we switch to someone else.

Think there are a couple of really good options out there right now, so long as we get one I'm happy but it would be a disaster if Rodri decides to stay and whilst we wait we miss out on Ndombele etc.
 
He may be due contract payments from Atletico which usually are due 1 July.

Even for a club with City's financial might, cash flow is very important.

This guy will probably want north of 150K week, if you can delay his signature for a month, that saves you 600K.

Wasn’t aware he was in the full Spanish set up. That explains the silence. Fully expect this to get moving after the Spain game on Monday

You think we’re intentionally delaying his signature to save a few weeks wages?

Don't players in Spain buy out their own contact which the buying club gives them? If so can a player buy out his contract while the transfer window is shut? I don't believe La Liga window opens until July 1st. @FCBarca ?

I think the buying club pays the money to the player - and then as you say the player then buys out their contract. I think this avoids VAT on the transaction but I’m not certain of that bit.
