Summer Transfer Window 2025 Thread


I don’t get why if Roma’s manager wants the player he would be satisfied with only having the player for a years loan. Seems to me there would be some sort of shenanigans to come which would end up them keeping the player and we’d end up being worse off. If this report is real something about it doesn’t sit right with me at all about it
They have psr issues this summer Roma don't they .next summer they could just buy him off us .
 
Even if it’s true, (which it won’t be) it’d likely be financially jiggery pokery.

Buy the lad for £30 million, 5 year contract meaning £6 million a year on our PSR. Roma pay us a loan fee of £6 million and his wages, no impact on Everton.
On a (very) basic level maybe. Obviously if we buy the lad for £30m, loan him to Roma, he breaks his leg in his first game and is never the same player again then it very much does have an impact on Everton as we pay a bloke for 4 more years and see another £24m drain away for absolutely no benefit whatsoever.

Why wouldn’t Roma just buy him though? It would cost them £6 million plus wages for the year PSR wise regardless.

And I don’t see them just giving him back to us after a year - it is their coach that wants him..

Sounds like nonsense tbh.
 
With the amount of work that needs to go into the squad this window, we aren’t signing anyone, let alone for £30m who doesn’t walk into the match day squad.

We might, at best, see a punt of a youth player for a couple of mill.

We certainly won’t be signing someone in the position we desperately need above all others, just to ship them off for a year.
 

And thats how you box clever with PSR in a multi club model

What’s clever about it?

In your scenario Roma are £6 million plus wages down in year one and we are even.

In the meantime we have no right back.

Year two the player comes to Everton? Regardless of if we need/want him by that point?

It’s just not really beneficial to anyone.

He may never come to Everton though.
Not saying it's happening
But there will be some sort of psr reasoning behind it.
Bit like what Chelsea do with strasbourg.

Different countries/leagues have different implementations of FFP/PSR.

I don't know the ins and outs of what Italian clubs can do or can't, but over the last decade we have seen a ton of transfers that has been announced as loan with mandatory purchase after 12 months. There seen to be some kind of loophole.

And even if Roma were allowed to buy Wesley themselves this summer, that could affect what other business they can do. From what I have read promises about new signings were given to lure Gasparini away from his successful spell at Atalanta.
