My take is the exact contrary, this spin is there to conceal a wretched deal. The amounts involved in no way compensate us for Brokeloana acquiring a £50m player for just his wages and the option to dump him back with us at the end of the season like Bayern. The Girona player to Wolves was a CFG transaction, nothing to do with Barca who needed to offload Garcia and a shedload of others anyway to get Felix on the payroll. Nunes for £53m wasn't cheap btw. Extending Cancelo's contract has turned out a major error.1. Girona sell their centre back to Wolves for a fee below his release clause
2. We get Nunes below Wolves' asking price
3. Barca loan Garcia to Girona on favourable terms
4. We loan Cancelo to Barcelona without an obligation to buy
Everyone's a winner.
