£9m a year after tax apparently. By my reckoning that's more than Rooney. Gutted we aren't geting him, but we didn't remotely need him and he's not worth destroying our wage structure over. I'd still sell Negredo and then use the money in January if we need to.
Yes, it's notable that Sly are now reporting it as a "loan that is worth between £5-6million" when previously it was quoted as a £20 million loan (wages being included obviously).
So the rags are paying £20 million for a Real Madrid 12 month fitness test.
