They've negotiated and closed the deal for Higuain while Pogba saga is going on for weeks!

Who cares how long you think its being going on for.

 

[J-Stander]

Dybala-Higuain should be pretty amazing.

 

[Quizierda]

Would be great if true: Fellaini, Rojo and Jones out.

MEN also report that Napoli might be interested in signing Darmian with the cash they are going to receive from Juve for Higuain.

there was no negotiations. napoli said pay the release and Juve did.

If someone has a buyout clause it's easy to close. You either pay it or you don't. If Pogba had a buyout clause it would have been completed ages ago.

That's because 1. They have long agreed a deal with Utd for Pogba and now using that money and 2. Because Higuain has a release clause hence no negotiations needed. Just pay up.

Being the penny pinchers Juve are, they tried to trick Napoli in some (unwanted/secondary) player + cash deal, but Napoli gave them a taste of their own medicine and forced them to trigger the release clause. There were negotiations.

Negotiations were short lived. De Laurentiis said pay the release clause or no Higuain. There several tweets on it a few days ago

The Argentine will earn €7.5 million net per season in addition to owning his marketing rights, Napoli will receive €90 million payable over two years, it would have been €94.7 million had Higuain been the one to pay to be released from his contract.

How are they able to split the payment of release clause over two years? Does not it need to be paid at once?

Napoli must have agreed to it.

 

[Mciahel Goodman]

"Napoli will receive €90 million payable over two years"

Crazy money.

 

[Nick7]

all transfers are like that. we paid for depay with 4 payments, each six months apart.

 

[baanke laal]

Yeah, and the stingy bastids want united to pay 120m upfront it seems, along with the entire commission of the agent.

all transfers are like that. we paid for depay with 4 payments, each six months apart.

But that was not a release clause. The entire money is supposed to be deposited at once, when a team triggers the release clause. I think they might not have officially triggered the release clause, but agreed to pay the amount equivalent to it in two installments.

 

[Ole90+3]

"Napoli will receive €90 million payable over two years"

Crazy money.

Would rather pay €120m for Pogba than this amount for Higuain. Even if age wasn't factor.

 

[Hojoon]

Almost all contracts are paid in installments. Transfer are a lot more complicated than the media and fans portray, it's usually not one simple figure that people use to argue who's done better business. It's not unusual to see clubs pay a slightly higher fee if it means they can pay in more installments.

 

[Nick7]

it's still the same, just reduced negotiation time. napoli benefit from stretching it out as they get one installment of 40+m euro in both years, which will help their cash flow and balance sheets. transfers aren't football manager where they just lump all the money at another club.

Spanish paper AS report that scheduled medical tests for Pogba at the the Miami Cardic and Vascular Institute have been cancelled

"New chapter in the saga Pogba. The meeting between Raiola and the player on Palm Island, Miami , made an unexpected news for the interests of Manchester United. The number of transfer from French club Mourinho will be around 120-125 million euros. From England and Italy give closed the signing last few days, but the commission the representative of the player (25 million euros) has stopped for the moment the arrival of Pogba United. The Italian doctor Italo Linfante, Miami Cardic and Vascular Institute and consultation at Jackson Memorial Hospital, would be responsible for carrying out medical reconocimietno to fubolista in Miami, but Raiola has canceled."

So Pogba had a medical scheduled in Miami and Raiola cancelled it as he's not received his agent fee?

 

[Hans Moleman]

Maybe. It needs a better English translation to understand the context. It might be talking about last week? Dunno

 

[Tiber]

If only Pogba had a £70m release clause.

 

[AgentP]

The only way to justify the agent's fee would be to consider it as a combined fee for getting us three players. Juve should atleast agree to split the fee with us since they are the ones who actually agreed to the 20% commission on the Pogba fee. It makes sense why we are hesitant to pay it since we are already breaking the world record for Pogba.

 

[MartialsBeard]

So Pogba had a medical scheduled in Miami and Raiola cancelled it as he's not received his agent fee?

Yes that is what it says and most likely now that Juve have paid out the money to Napoli It would be an indication that Raiola and United want Juve to pay for his agent fee out of the Pogba transfer meaning that they would get a flat 100m Euros for him, Juve want to sell Pogba to fund the Higuain and other players they have signed.

To be honest if we want Pogba that much that we are willing to pay 125m euros, we may as well pay the agent fee also.

 

[cyberman]

Would he really have his medical in Miami?
Wouldn't our doctors like to have a look at him?

 

[Canuckred64]

That does not sound good.

Hopefully this is settled soon, the longer it draws out the harder it will be to get an adequate replacement if the attempt to get Pogba fails.

 

[Stretch]

Could be part of the medical ala Higuain who had part of his medical in Madrid since he was there at the time.

You are missing my point - had they triggered the release clause, they had to pay the entire sum upfront. For example, United had to deposit the entire money in Ander Herrera's account and he paid it to Bilbao to trigger the release allowing him to leave. It seems that Juventus negotiated with Napoli to pay 90m without triggering the release clause via Higuain, the article says they would have been forced to pay 94.5m, in case they were forced to take that route. I don't think they would have the option to split the payment in that scenario.

Think you are talking about a buyout clause rather than a release clause.

I thought they both meant the same. What's the difference?

 

[baanke laal]

I think both are the same thing in the above context.

Different countries, different clauses.

In Spain, the buyout is the player buying out his contract with the club. The release clause (similar to the one Kante had and Vardy had at Leicester) is the minimum fee which allows the club to negotiate with the player. I.E the minimum fee which forces to the club to accept, the player doesn't have to accept though (as happened with Vardy). Sometimes it will only be applicable to a certain type of club, so a UCL club release clause in the case of Vardy for example.
At lease that is my interpretation

 

[baanke laal]

Maybe that is the case. But, the highlighted part from the Di Marzio article below makes me think they had to pay it upfront & they negotiated with Napoli to avoid triggering his release.

The Argentine will earn €7.5 million net per season in addition to owning his marketing rights, Napoli will receive €90 million payable over two years, it would have been €94.7 million had Higuain been the one to pay to be released from his contract.

But doesn't this minimum fee have to be paid in full? Maybe, the Napoli board found the fee acceptable and agreed to let them pay over 2 installments. Otherwise, what's the point of having a release clause.
