Rodrigo Hernandez - Atletico confirm deal - p192

[richards30]

I think City know his decision as do Atletico, just a question of timing when he signs

Fingers crossed mate as it has gone extremely quiet!

 

[Tom01]

Is he currently on international duty?

Even for a club with City's financial might, cash flow is very important.

This guy will probably want north of 150K week, if you can delay his signature for a month, that saves you 600K.

Yes, just played the full 90 against the Faroe Islands the other day.

Wasn’t aware he was in the full Spanish set up. That explains the silence. Fully expect this to get moving after the Spain game on Monday

That Portugal DM Danilo would make a good DM, he was an absolute rock today and didn't place a wrong pass

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

I wonder if we have set a deadline for him to decide?

Don't players in Spain buy out their own contact which the buying club gives them? If so can a player buy out his contract while the transfer window is shut? I don't believe La Liga window opens until July 1st. @FCBarca ?

You think we’re intentionally delaying his signature to save a few weeks wages?

I think the buying club pays the money to the player - and then as you say the player then buys out their contract. I think this avoids VAT on the transaction but I’m not certain of that bit.

Its the levy way he signs his players on the last day of the window to get a bargain and save money.
