City offered 20M€ + Fernando on loan for 2 seasons, Sporting refused.
Or €10M and no further mention of Fernando?Maybe they'll accept if we offer 20M€ + Fernando on loan for just one season instead, arf.
On a serious note, does Fernando really still have two years left on his contract?! If so that'd mean we either gave him a five year deal initially or have subsequently extended his contract, both of which would be inexplicable decisions, even by Begiristain's standards.
When we signed Fernando we were really strapped for costs under FFP I suspect amortising his transfer fee over five years rather than less will have helped a bit.On a serious note, does Fernando really still have two years left on his contract?!
