Also, assuming he's on 100k that's about 20k more than the club was rumored to want to pay him. So from the club's end - was the extra 20k warranted because he's worth it or because its offset by him not getting to leave on a bosman?
Very simple approach but - 20k X 52 (weeks in a year) x 2.5 (years in the contract as he'll be sold with a year left 😉) = 2.6 million
So assuming 1) they feel that 80k/week is financially sound for Theo, and 2) they can recoup "extra" 2.6 millions it would seem the extra cash was worth it.
