Not worked out as planned that? :)

At least he was only £15m.

I think we got our money’s worth at £15m. He was a decent squad player at some points. I think Lampard quite liked him. Overall though, I’m glad we get his wages off the books. Wish him all the best.
 


Source (Tier 3):

Venezia are interested in Adnan Januzaj and have made enquiries about a possible move for the [Belgian] Red Devil, who are still waiting for Everton FC. Januzaj is asking for a salary of around €3m net per year. Difficult to achieve for a Serie B club...

I find it odd that a free agent could spend a couple of months without any training or pre-season waiting for the end of the transfer window to make his move.

On that note, did Juan Mata find a new club or is he retiring?
 


EDIT: More in from Tier 1 journalist

PSG wanted to add a buy-back clause to Michut's contract at Sunderland. The English did not appreciate the last-minute request.

How the hell would it be too expensive, when we've practically bankrolled them for this season alone?

It's the total package that's the problem, really meaning salary. A transfer fee of €25-30m is possible, but then there's another 10m a year in salary and last year Haller was the highest earning player at 4,5m. Giving Ziyech 10m would destroy the wage structure and make a lot of current players upset. For reference other players that have played in the EPL: Bergwijn reportedly earns 4-4,5m, Tadic 3,5m and Blind 3m.

To put €10m a year into perspective, that's what Ajax gets annually for it's share of the league's broadcasting rights deal.

Gotcha. Thanks for the heads up.

Ziyech is on £100K a week at Chelsea so around €6M a year. A little bit more than your highest paid players but not by a lot. Surely he's not expecting a 60% wage increase to move back to Ajax?

I've also seen that figure. Is that before or after tax? Because the salaries of the other players that I mentioned are all before tax.

Ah right thanks. I don't really see the problem then unless the latest reports are wrong and Chelsea is sticking to their initial asking price of ~€44m.

The last I read was we were at €30m. I think the hold up right now is personal terms.

Was just watching a talkshow where a journalist said that Ajax still prefers a loan and Ziyech himself keeps insisting on a permanent deal so he (potentially) won't be stuck at Chelsea again next year.

Not sure why they wouldn't want to buy if the price is right since buying now is better for tax purposes, lowers the annual profit so no tax penalty. A loan with option/obligation to buy would move the transfer into the next fiscal year.

The only reason I could see for dragging it out this long is if Ajax has another option lined up that they hope to make a large profit on later like with Antony, because it can't be that they are doubting Ziyech's quality. Doubtful that it's being postponed until after the Antony deal is made public for some reason, people are Ziyech are saying a transfer isn't looking likely at this point.
