Message: [QUOTE="The True King, post: 3548523, member: 9651"] City also put a buy-back clause into Lavia's contract for a reason. He was 18yo and ready for first team football when they let him go - the only risk was that he would have a break out season. He's basically did that which is why Chelsea and Liverpool are after him. I don't think City were factoring in Southampton being relegated. In any case, City can buy him back next summer for 40mil and have a sell-on fee if he's taken before then. It was actually quite brilliant business from them. Agree Kova is a great deal. In the scheme of things though there have been some really good value deals go under the radar for midfielders: Alvarez > West Ham ($38mil) Angelo > Chelsea ($15mil) Berge > Burnley ($14mil) Dahoud > Brighton (Free) Tielemans > Villa (Free) There's value in the market it's just a case of finding it and moving fast before bidding wars begin. p.s You are seeing now why Chelsea let Kovacic go - to free up space in the squad for new signings while also helping FFP.
