Pretty sure that's the commission to the agent, not the fee to us. He walks on a free in June.

That's transfer commission for his agent, we might be owed compensation, two very different things.
Whats that per week? 70 - 100k?
Very helpful! But we don't get anything for a youth player going abroad on a free! Remember Spurs/Standard Liege/Zeki Fryers...
He was really highly thought of in his mid-teens; got a bad knee injury about 2 years back, it's possibly affected him a lot. Gomes and Greenwood look far, far ahead of him technically.
He's still doing great in the U-23s apparently - maybe a change of scenery and an easier league will do wonders for him?

So far the senior level just looks way too much for Chong right now, might be able to cope eventually, but looks way off it right now. Such a shame, but it happens.
Tribunal will dictate fee as he is under 24
€3m take home in Italy is approximately €5.8m gross, or approx €112k per week.
Better league? He looks lost in the premier league, so why would he want to go to a better 1?
Don’t think that matters as he’s signing abroad.
We got a fee for Pogba back when he left on a free. Round about £1m I think?
i think transfer commission is agent fee tbh
What has Chong done to believe he deserves that kind of salary?
Good riddance if that's the case. He isn't even very good.

I blame agents honestly, they get in these young kids minds.
Regarding Chong, he's not good enough for Norwich let alone United. I'm glad we're not giving him a new contract.
So is it top talent or is it ‘huge talents’?
Is it hard to get players in January or is it you can’t?
You need to decide what you’re saying. In any event your post didn’t contribute anything to a discussion.
The only viable strategy I see from European clubs buying young British talent (most often as they wind down their contracts or due for renewal) is to acquire them cheaply, albeit with somewhat lucrative contract offers, but then sell back to PL clubs at vastly exorbitant transfer fees, recovering their contractual layout and making a tidy profit as well. Jadon Sancho being a case in point. Do they have any real intention of keeping these players long term? Not likely given the riches on offer from the PL gravy train! It's a well thought out strategy and whilst the Raiola's of this world are operating I can see it gradually becoming common place.
The whole fact a player can negotiate with a club outside their current league 6 months before their contract ends also goes in favour of clubs who might look to adopt that strategy. Take a punt on a Pogba or a Sancho for a low fee and above average wages and hope to sell them back at a later date.
Same reason why Chong might well be a canny bit of business for Inter. Probably a total outlay of 22 mil or so over the course of his contract and the potential to sell him for a lot more if he does well during that period. If he doesn't work out then its not the end of the world and they can probably sell him back to a mid table PL team.
Good he's shite anyway. Had high hopes for him but every time I've seen him he's been bang average
What the hell is going on at Inter?

Can't make this up. Jesse next?
Is this some weird Conte revenge where he takes Mourinho’s United and wins Serie A and Europa?
Conte and Inter need to take Jones, Lingard and Rojo too.
It's great seeing someone be rude and completely wrong at the same time.
that's got to be the weirdest fetish I've ever seen.
Ogden mentioning Tevez as a possible striking solution.
Darmian to Inter apparently. The feck is up with Conte does he want the United job? 
Shooting fish in a barrel thats all they do.
Made me laugh. Completely pulling names out of his arse.
Inter are clearly fielding two squads in Serie A next season.
Maybe conte is playing 4d chess. Let me dump all these crap players at inter Milan go get the job at united with a clean roster. Wins the title in his first year with boring football gets major extension . Get fired in year 2 and become rich af.
What the hell is going on at Inter?
Inter should just be renamed Manchester United Internazionale.
Reminds me of one of the best muppetry threads on the Caf ever..
What the hell is going on at Inter?
That's funny because we are a bit like a Man Utd tribute act at the moment too.
Conte is trolling Mourinho.
Inter signing ex United players as if they won the treble together.
Or perhaps Conte is auditioning for the future United's manager role. It is his way of proving, if he can win the league with this dross, imagine what he can bring if he is fully backed.
Wish it was a homage more than a sacrificial tribute.
