Every Saudi take over is a good opportunity to flog some expensive stuff. Maybe we can get them to take on Sterling...

It feels like Guiu could very well be using us to get a contract more to his liking at Barca (which probably includes guaranteed playing time).

Yep. Instantly thought that was the case when I saw that “it’s not all agreed just yet.” He wants Barca to show that they really want to keep him so he’s suing us to get that.

This’ll be yet another thing in recent weeks that Fabrizio will have been wrong on. It’s unlike him to be this unreliable. His desire to get scoops first to uphold his image is getting in the way of getting things correct first and foremost.

I don't really buy this idea that Conte is desperate to get Lukaku. Osimhen is already his perfect striker, perhaps even more suited to his style of play than Lukaku, at a better age and without all the problems Romelu brings.

Conte might back himself to get value out of Lukaku for a year or two, but I'm sure it wouldn't be his ideal setup. Much bigger risk than just continuing with Osimhen, and Conte very much likes a sure thing because he is a winner first and foremost.

Clubs warned by Premier League over ‘PSR loophole’ deals

Everton, Villa and Chelsea, who face pressure to comply with spending rules, have been involved in transfers and talks to buy and sell home-grown players to each other

The Premier League is monitoring player transfers that could be used to exploit a loophole in its spending rules to ensure they do not breach regulations about clubs acting in good faith.

Everton, Aston Villa and Chelsea, who all face pressure in complying with Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) for the 2023-24 season, have been involved in transfers or talks with a view to buying and selling players to each other.

The Premier League has rules about clubs being obliged to act in good faith towards each other and the league. If transfer fees were seen as heavily inflated to circumvent the PSR rules, that could potentially be viewed as a breach.

Villa signed Everton’s academy product Lewis Dobbin, 21, on Sunday, while the Merseyside club brought in Villa’s Tim Iroegbunam in a deal worth a reported £9million. Talks are also understood to be taking place about Villa selling another academy product, the 18-year-old midfielder Omari Kellyman, to Chelsea, with the home-grown Dutch defender Ian Maatsen moving the other way for £37.5million.

 

Everton are understood to have offered Newcastle United their striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin and want the 19-year-old winger Yankuba Minteh, who attracted the attention of numerous clubs while playing on loan for Feyenoord last season, to move the other way. However sources say Newcastle have reservations about Calvert-Lewin, who has had a chequered fitness record in recent seasons, and have received big-money offers for Minteh from the continent.

The transfers make financial sense for both the buying and selling clubs when it comes to complying with PSR for last season before the June 30 deadline. Clubs are limited to losing a maximum of £105million across a three-season period, though some losses can be written off, such as spending on infrastructure or youth football.

The entire transfer fee from the sale of an academy-raised player can immediately be banked as cash income, while the fee from any purchase of a player can be spread out across the length of his contract in a process called amortisation.

Therefore, for example, if a player is signed for £10million on a five-year deal, the amortised cost for a single season is only £2million.

The Premier League has declined to comment on any specific deals but other top-flight clubs believe they are within the rules, even if they are exploiting a loophole.

Clubs have been made aware that charging each other highly inflated fees to circumvent PSR rules would potentially be an issue for the league.

Its rule B15 states: “In all matters and transactions relating to the league each club, official and director shall behave towards each other club, official, director and the league with the utmost good faith. For the avoidance of doubt and by way of example only, it shall be a breach of the duties under this rule to act dishonestly towards the league or another club; or engage in conduct that is intended to circumvent these rules or obstruct the board’s investigation of compliance with them.”

Chelsea have previously tried to exploit another loophole by selling two hotels at Stamford Bridge to a sister company for £76.5million in June last year. The Premier League had yet to approve the sale, however, ten months after the deal was executed.
