Traore had one in the Villa/ Barcelona deal
From what I've read of Pep's opinion of him, how the transfer helps him get the work permit and the suspiciously low fee I think it's very very likely we'll be selling him back next summer. This is essentially a trick loan deal to get him a work permit. Not that I'm complaining really!
Is this a done deal? Nothing on the Official site?
The OS only declares when everything is done, and they've had time to do the shirt-stretching photos and "how does it feel to be at Villa" video.
They won’t be getting first dibs. They will have the right to buy him back at a predefined price at predefined points (probably at each seasons end) and we won’t get a choice. Likewise I would also be sure there’s some profit for us, but not amazing. This is a clever work permit busting ruse by city.
