This guy will be sold for 70-80mil to PL soon. Not that he will be worth it, but we kinda messed up here.
This will never hold up as a legitimate narrative. From the start he was a failure by Bartomeu at 31M, even at Wolves he could not recover. The financial burden the club was left in meant shedding it of players & salaries that were not adding sporting value
Tebas blocking registration forced a shrewd move by Barça to unlock the needed registration of Marcus but no doubt they made a deal under duress as his market value should’ve translated to closer to 20M for that 50%. But money in the hand as they say much less the uncertainty of getting 40M
We got lemons, we made lemonade
His contract ends in 2027 according to transfermarket, let's see what they could get for him before launching all those hypothesis.
Sporting are the worst in sales among the top 3 in Portugal, so I won't hold my breath for anything more than 50M for him, at most
