I doubt new club got a good deal, tbh.
That one could come back to bite.
He’s going to be very good or absolute quality. Will probably stay 3 years and be sold.
If he has absolute quality they will make a fortune and have had 3 years service.
If he is very good and prices keep rising they would probably get back what they paid.
I think the potential re sale value is part of what made the initial cost so high.
