This doesn't really make any sense. What has the asking price got to do with anything in terms of the deal being held up?

the money city pay up front - barcalona's transfer fee = samuel's much discussed signing on fee/'loyalty payment'

Say Barca want 20 mil for eto'o we give them 25 mil then they pay eto'o with some of the money we give them.

I imagine we will pay what we had originally offered but technically this will be less to cover the bonus. Looking good though.

Barca need to lower the asking price so that Eto'o's cut in proportion is smaller, we will then make up the difference by paying Eto's's loyalty payment for Barca meaning we ain't out of pocket, Barca ain't out of pocket but Eto'o is for being a greedy shit.

But Eto still gets the loyalty payment, surely (albeit in a way that saves Barca's blushes).

I wouldn't read too much into that. If anything, surely we'd pay MORE and then Barca would pass it on.

The article says they are lowering their asking price

Thats my point - the article makes no sense whatsoever.

Re: Samuel Eto'o [merged]

all i can think of is that sammy's loyalty bonus is a percentage of transfer fee therefore by Barca dropping asking price the bonus goes down but we add it on the fee so they can pay it straight to sammy.
