Activation terms! Manchester United earns 17 million euros?

Manchester United, which has a tight finance, has a legal opportunity to make "extra money". This operation target is the Spanish defender A fee sold by Manchester United last year.

The front page of the Spanish "As" published today is that Real Madrid hopes that after Manchester United buys back Alvaro Fernandez, they will introduce the Spanish left-back at a lower price. According to reports from Cobe Radio, 22-year-old Alvaro Fernandez is very close to joining Real Madrid, but this is a relatively complicated deal involving three clubs.

Last summer, A Fee transferred from Manchester United to Benfica for 6 million euros. Manchester United had a repurchase option. A Fee has firmly held the main position this season, representing Benfica in 48 games in various competitions, starting 46 games, scoring 4 goals and contributing 5 assists.

In order to improve the defense line, Real Madrid focused on introducing defenders in the summer window, and has decided to set up Liverpool defender Arnold and Bournemouth's Spanish international central defender Juisen, and has set his sights on former youth training captain A Fei (A Fei played for Real Madrid youth team from 2017 to 2020).

However, Benfica priced at 60 million euros for A fees. He was tough in negotiations with Real Madrid and refused to negotiate a price cut.

But if Manchester United chooses to buy back, they only need to pay Benfica 18 million euros to bring back the A fee. Real Madrid's management's wishful thinking is that Manchester United first activates the repurchase clause of the A fee, and then Real Madrid signs the A fee from Manchester United for 30 million to 35 million euros.

"As" said that this is a win-win deal. Manchester United, as a middleman, can make 12-17 million euros, and Real Madrid can save 25-30 million euros. There is only one loser, only Benfica, the black shop.

According to the Ass, negotiations are under intense progress. Real Madrid's primary task is to persuade Manchester United to participate in the deal. The agreement is close to being reached, and Real Madrid's A-fee signing progress has reached 90%.

However, we really cannot believe the Spanish media's tradition of imagining and fabricating fake news. As the mouthpiece of Real Madrid, "As" deliberately concealed a fact when reporting the A-fee transaction: In addition to the low-price repurchase clause, Manchester United also enjoys 50% of Alvaro Fernandez's second transfer share.

This means that theoretically, the more expensive Benfica sells the A fee, the more transfer profits Manchester United will earn. From this point of view, Manchester United and Benfica are on the same front, not Real Madrid.

Sky Sports: Villa has no priority refusal

Sky Sports exclusively disclosed that Aston Villa does not have the priority refusal rights of Rashford. If Manchester United cannot sell the players in the summer window, they will continue to rent.

Manchester United management priced £40 million for 27-year-old Rashford, which treats all buyers, including Villa. Villa has not considered activating the buyout option and the club has no priority.

Rashford scored 4 goals and assisted 6 times in 17 games during his loan period in Villa, and his form has recovered. According to people around the players, Rashford clearly regards Champions League qualification as the primary consideration for his next company. If Villa can secure a seat in the Champions League next season, it will create possibilities for him to stay in the team, but the players have ruled out the option of joining a London club.

Rashford's transfer barrier is mainly due to excessive wages and a contract of £325,000 per week. Few clubs are willing to bear it except the Saudi league. Manchester United's proposal to include it in the exchange plan has also been rejected by the player's agent team.

Manchester United have locked in Wolves forward Cunha and Ipswich forward Drapp as the striker replacement for the new season. TA's famous reporter David Ornstein pointed out that if Rashford cannot reach a permanent transfer this summer, the loan will become the Red Devils' stop loss plan.
