Kosta Nedeljkovic (out on loan at RB Leipzig)

[Dave]

OK, but that's not what I said. If another club comes in and says we want him and we'll pay 20m, for example, are we legally bound to sell him for less to Leipzig?

Obviously without seeing the contracts we're all guessing, but my best understanding would be pretty much along the lines of the two posts above.

[PeterWithe]

Yes, but our friends question was specifically about Leipzig.

[Footy-Vill]

Would have to say this seems the way buying up good potential young players and selling them on so to help profit and squad cost rules and regs.
Just another calf sold off in the cattle market.

[SaddVillan]

Various reports appearing on social media platforms that RB Leipzig are looking to sign him permanently. Fee of  €10.5m base fee, plus €4.5m add-ons being quoted.

If we receive the full €15m, that will give us around €5.5m/£4.6m profit on the deal we agreed when he joined us.

Wonder if the deal with Red Star Belgrade included a sell-on clause?

If it did and we're breaking even, feels like it's all been a bit of a waste of time.

Am I the only one struggling to understand the logic of the Nedeljkovic signing. We knew he was 17-18 when we signed him and he's clearly good based on getting into the Red Star and Serbia national teams. At the same time Cash has  missed a lot of games, so we have been desperate for a stand-in RB. Despite this his game time has been very limited, while Konsa, Bogarde, Garcia and Uncle Tom Cobley have all started games and underwhelmed at RB.

If I was him I'd be very frustrated and after 2 years I'd be really happy to leave the Villa.

Not two years. He was in Brum for 6 months.

He'll go down in folklore as our 1000th player though.

[eamonn]

Oh yeah! Forgot that!

[ADVILLAFAN]

Definitely has raw talent. Pace and strength.

However, Garcia has played better for Villa.

[LeeB]

To be fair to lad Garcia is a couple of years older, and thanks to FFP we have to make a choice so there it is.

He hasn't really played for them that much, so I'm surprised to see this being reported. Maybe they see him as one for the future too.

Loan extension being reported.

The loan terms might be interesting. Wonder who had the upper hand in negotiations?

Have we upped the future purchase price?
And negotiated a slightly higher loan fee?
Have we got them to agree to pay all of Ned's wages - important for PSR.

Another year in the Bundesliga could well up his resale value should we want to cash in next summer, or give him the chance to show that he's worth bring into the squad.

Getting RB Leipzig  to pay his wages for 12 months, will reduce his book value still further which will increase any book profit should we sell him

Hopefully a win-win for Villa.

I'm sorry, but that's cobblers.

Pardon?

Getting the best deal should be our sole concern.
