We've enough feeder clubs within CFG. This is different. We're buying quality additions at a decent price from a club, & essentially buying them a replacement who we own, as part of the deal.Yep yet another feeder club
In the initial stages, our investment is higher, but in the long-run we can potentially have another star players to add to our squad, get our investment back, or sell on netting a tidy profit.
The selling club can either invest their transfer funds in other areas, or build up a sizeable kitty for the future. Either way, Lens have got the money they wanted for Khusanov, & another highly rated replacement as part of the bargain.
It's a subtle, but crucial variation on what we've been doing previously, & may just unlock several similar deals which mutually benefit City & the selling clubs. It's a business masterstroke.
