I don't know, dude. Maybe I am wrong.What do you mean?
I see we loaned Trincao first to Wolves for 6m.
Then he was loaned to Sporting for 3m.
Then Sporting bought 50% of the player for 18m.
That's 27m already from 2 loans and sale of half the ownership to Sporting. If Sporting pays 11m for the rest of the 50%, then it's 38m. We bought him for 31.
How do you get 21m total from all those deals? We probably take in a small profit overall. Or should be at least.
+ 6 M for wolves€3M for loan in 2022
€7M for the 50% of player's rights in 2023
€11M for the remaining 50% of player's rights in 2025
21M after spending 31M by Barto
Portuguese clubs knows how to scam buyers, Trincao isn't worth anything north of 20M as he still has same issues of speed and playing on slow motion without the rest of his game being elite to compensate for it. He is a squad depth in EPL at most.
The fact that they are likely selling him for more, speaks more about their ability to fool clubs into buying players, than our ability to sell.
It is the same as Nico Gonzalez, he is a 25M-30M player, whom they fooled City and sold him for 60M.
Good for them tbh, but it is nothing to look deeply into it and think we got screwed
Because that's their priority. They play football in a poor country with nearly non existent sponsoring. The only way for their topclubs to survive and be competitive in Europe is to sell players. They have based their entire club politics on finding talents, developing them into players with potential and sell them for a good amount. That's why Porto has hundreds of couts, which go to every village in South-America and watch every football match there to find talents they take to Europe to make money with. It's an assembly line at this point.True. Portuguese do know how to sell or make players look good.
Laporta should hire more portujews then. Although he already has Deco and he seems to be more skilled at vacations than selling.Portuguese clubs knows how to scam buyers, Trincao isn't worth anything north of 20M as he still has same issues of speed and playing on slow motion without the rest of his game being elite to compensate for it.
