One of the weirder outcomes from Tottenham Hotspur’s transfer window was the €4m+bonuses+sell-on-clause deal that sent Giovani Lo Celso back to Real Betis. It was clear the clubs were far apart on their valuation of the player (or at least what Betis was willing/able to pay) so head of recruitment Johan Lange resorted to his bag of creative accounting books to eke out some additional value down the road.
