It always seems to be straightforward for the buying club

Fenerbahçe has signed 24-year-old Leicester City midfielder Boubakary Soumare on loan. #LCFC

◉ € 2.5M rental fee
◉ € 15M purchase option

 

I just can’t see fenerbache paying £15 mil for a championship midfielder. Turkish clubs are tight enough as it is. Is that a credible source?

[JimJams]

Don't expect Fener will pony up the dough, but hopefully he can put in some eye catching performances in a few big games and garner interest from elsewhere.

I have an issue with it because we demanded £15m last summer, Monaco offered it to us and then we changed our minds. At a time we needed players out to bring players in, it was annoying. Now it seems a huge missed opportunity.

Was any of that confirmed by anyone, or is this just more paper talk used to beat people with?

Depends if they are covering all of his wages as well.

Even when selling players you can end up either covering a percentage of wages, or dropping the sale figure so low to accommodate.

Paper talk then, as two days later the sun reported they offered nothing like £15m.

Sorry you'll have to explain this one. It's simple, when selling OR loaning a player a condition of a sale or a loan can be you have to cover a percentage of said players wages to get them off the books. A sale is not always better than a loan, there is no whataboutery involved. It's a stone cold fact. It depends entirely on the makeup of what's offered.

This alludes to us increasing our price. There was something from the likes of Tanner or Percy saying the same at the time as well.

Good to just get him gone. Every little helps £££.

It is not an issue providing this UKP2.5m loan fee does not include his wages.  

Can't imagine it would, two separate things I would have thought. Although I suppose it's not beyond the realms of possibility that it's a way of getting the money for the wages up front. But I've never heard of it.

All I can find is that valuations were far apart with Monaco and that Soumare rejected a move to another unnamed club after we accepted an offer. 

[Lineker's Left Foot]

Has he gone then?

[Fuch Me Moore]

I've heard the media team are working on a departure video of him leaving Seagrave.

Wonder what % of his wages these f****rs are covering..

They won't they will pay the 2.5m loan fee then offer 15m lira to sign him on a permanent if he does well.

They're only getting an option to buy price by giving us a loan fee otherwise there is no benefit to us. 

 

Obviously we would prefer to sell and wipe our hands of the situation but it appears we don't have that option.

From what I recall, it was reported he wanted the move and we were happy to sell.

 

That's why he sat out of training/friendlies as his head wasn't right to play while the move was negotiated. 

 

Then BR got told we're not buying anyone unless there are major sales and decided he could work with him. What isn't clear is whether we then subsequently rejected the offer or he did. 

 

Last summer was an utter mess so not clear on what to believe.
