4 million euro loan fee for Guendouzi
Lovely stuff
I never understand the way loan fees are reported. We pay him about £40k/week (£2m). Is that typically included or excluded when newspapers report the loan fee.
Yeah I think it depends if we're still paying his wages, and we are being compensated for it. So we send him his paycheck and the other club pays us, or whether he is paid now weekly by the other club. In the former, it would make sense to include the salary in the loan fee, otherwise not. Doesn't really make a difference, but it does confuse the issue when figuring out the actual fee.
