So we started the bid at 40m, Chelsea wanted 70m. Both sides end up at 55m with 5m addon. Not exactly sure what the addons conditions are but I heard its difficult to meet. In the event Mason meet those addons conditions, we’d be ecstatic to pay Chelsea that 5m. So really, it feels like the deal is at 55m.
With that being said, how do we feel about this deal?
I feel like its a fair deal. The “real” price is closer to 55m than the reported 60m. To me 55m is the right aMount.
I said when it was first reported we were in for him I wouldn’t want to go above 60. It’s a big spend but I’m pretty happy about it
