QUOTE (X-Offender @ Aug 13 2019, 02:56 PM) Rumors about possible departures:
Silva to Espanyol Rodriguez to Schalke Conti to Werder Bremen Castillejo to Villareal
Not sure about the Conti rumors (Parma were also interested a few days ago). I mean, if he leaves, we’d have only Calabria as RB... Conti and Rodriguez make good backups, so I have mixed feelings. OTOH, Silva and Samu ... good riddance. Problems: - Conti and Samu have said multiple time they do not want to leave - If I understand FFP, we cannot afford minusvalenze on any sale (which makes getting rid of some of our unwanted players that much harder)

Maybe we're counting on Strinić or Laxalt to cover the RB? But yes, you're right, it wouldn't be very good to do this. Also, I've read that we don't want to sell Conti and rejected Werder outright.

I think the problem is we lack money. And for some reason we're not especially good at selling/offloading our players this summer.
I mean is it so hard for us to find a buyer for Silva and Rodriguez?

I mean is it so hard for us to find a buyer for Silva and Rodriguez? I do not think the problem is lack of money, Elliott has money and seems willing to invest. Rather, the problem is staying inside of FFP parameters, which is why selling Slivia and Castillejo and others is hard. Based on my understanding of FFP (which I admit is limited), registering a "minusvalenza" hurts us, which means we need to sell above the amortized cost of the player (using X-Offender's example from a different post, we bought Castillejo for 25M, a year has gone by so his book value now is 20M; Silva's book value is close to 23M if my math is correct). What's making things hard is the need to get a plusvalenza (even a small one). I think the story is with RR may be different. Perhaps we want to keep him to provide some depth. OTOH, I think he would be far easier to sell than Laxalt or Strinic, and we have too many players competing for one role.

QUOTE (William405 @ Aug 15 2019, 02:23 PM) 25mil..that's peanuts! It's above book value, sell !!! I have to admit that I find Silva frustrating. I believe he has the talent, he just has no real drive, as far as I can tell. A part of me says "keep him, maybe GP can work his magic, he can score lots of goals for us and we can sell him for decent money". However, I fear that it will not work out that way.

QUOTE (TriniKing_CE @ Aug 15 2019, 04:44 PM) I don't get why we'd want to sell Rodriguez, sure he was one of our weaker spots last season, but he is also the preferred backup to Hernandez.
Silva isn't that impressive and we paid quite a bit for him, he was always going to be fairly difficult to offload if we are hoping to recover the majority share of what we purchased him for. Above book value is all we need, I think (and that's 23M if my math is correct). Even that appears to be difficult, though. The stunt he pulled at Seville (pretending to be injured) did not help his marketability.

QUOTE (X-Offender @ Aug 15 2019, 01:14 PM) Looks like the following will happen, according to Mediaset:
Atletico will sign Rodrigo from Valencia for 60M We’ll sign Correa from Atletico for 45M + bonuses Valencia will sign Silva from us for 25M. These are the news stories we are going to get throughout the day: "Something is happening in the Correa negotiation, his agent is in <Milano / Madrid>" "Milan is hopeful, as Correa says he only wants Milan" "Atleti are unhappy, because Monaco is ready with an offer for 55M, but Correa has rejected the move" "Negotiation has stalled, Milan does not want to pay more than 40M + bonus, Atleti insists on 55M" <repeat> <repeat> <repeat> EDIT: should add, all news sources appear to be equally clueless ...
