FOCUS: Inter's plan for Joao Mario
How can the nerazzurri sign the Portuguese midfielder Joao Mario for whom Sporting CP ask for €40 million? Thanks to Jiangsu, who could buy the player and loan him to the nerazzurri. Could Inter could be sanctioned for such operation? UEFA has never analyzed a similar case, so there are no precise rules about it. The important thing is that the nerazzurri must pay entirely the player’s salary and obtain him not just on loan but on loan with right to buy.
Of course, at a certain point, the Lombard club will have to pay the player’s transfer fee, but by that time, its financial situation will be changed, thanks to the Chinese market itself.
