Rumours that Simeone will leave at the end of the season so I guess this is why they don't want to include an option to buy. Our best chance is he delivers and loves it in London and maybe we get him anyways in the summer.
I want to believe there is gentleman agreement if he does good and we have some sort of first buy option, I mean I know Boehly and co don't respect agreements but other clubs might.
This is connected to the Enzo blunder IMO, he would've stepped down before January if so but I guess after the episode with Benfica he received a lot of backlash and became a meme online so pulled one step back.
