Does the lad have €60m? Or would we give to him to pay?

It’s a significant step forward. They burned the bridge themselves, giving Zubimendi even more reason to move on.

Would suggest that’s a good sign for us.
Everyone acknowledging it can’t go on much longer without a decision being made by him and Sociedad basically giving him the out which makes them look like they played hardball.
Can’t imagine he feels great about the pressure they’re putting on him. Would hardly make me inclined to stay if I were in his shoes.

@jabu as the resident transfer guru, would you suggest this is done and you’ve moved on to other transfers?

With all the people wetting themselves over a transfer, you’re quite clearly doing a piss-poor job.

In Spain it´s usually like this, they do use a buyout clause that has to be payed by the player or presumably his agency. That means we have to pay them the whole sum in full, but that´s completely normal. Imo it´s just the Spanish club being petty to make that public.
edit
I`ve just read that Man City did the exact same thing when they signed Aymeric Laporte. City advanced the money to Laporte, who used that to buy out his contract with Athletic Bilbao.
