Maybe Maffeo showed signs of ants in his pants so we decided to cash in now rather than lose him for nothing in a year? It really could be that bud. As good as we are players want to play, not keep waiting for a chance that may never come warming benches. Two years wait may be more than Maffeo can tolerate personally.I don't get the reason why Pep should take a decision on Maffeo. Pep is here for maybe 2 seasons, Maffeo is one for the future, once Walker is into his thirties.

It just could have been a loan deal to Stuttgart.

Hence the buy back clause.I don't get the reason why Pep should take a decision on Maffeo. Pep is here for maybe 2 seasons, Maffeo is one for the future, once Walker is into his thirties.

He had one year left on his contract so it couldn’t.It just could have been a loan deal to Stuttgart.

Yep that is certainly an option, only if it was an option though if you get me. I get the feeling we did the deal with a view to creating a good boardroom level relationship with Stuttgart. I think Maffeo has shown signs he wants to play or leave and we decided to get a few quid and gain the favour of sorts from Stuttgarts top dogs.It just could have been a loan deal to Stuttgart.
There could very well be a gentlemans agreement between all parties that we may come back for him. We likely will never find out about such stuff though.

Or this ^^He had one year left on his contract so it couldn’t.
So it is not even an option, we would have to have a gents agreement as sweep says legally uefa/fifa say no.

Nailed it.The heart's disappointed but the head says it's a good decision. We're not interested in Maffeo unless he turns out to be world class. He won't develop into that player unless he plays week in week out. We're not likely to sell Danilo a year after signing him, so he's not going to get enough playing time here next season.
Let him have a couple of seasons, and if he's really as good as all that we can buy him back cheaply.
It's not the same as Foden or Diaz, who are competing for more places. There's no point in overloading on full backs.
