Team transfer policy is stupid as ****. Arsenal bought Bernard from me for 40M, for 1 1/2 season he was their best player both in goals + assists, then they sold him for 35M to Barca. Why??? No financial problems, playin Champions legue, he was happy, i really dont know why. Plus they didnt have good replacement.
I still find it amusing that a (granted wonderkid) youth player has a price of 42 million when aged 15 and valuation is 42k.
this guy is regen, and is third season. It's just amusing really, but I realise it's an FO from the club.

Back in the day they would have just said "no" but people complained, saying that there had to be some kind figure.
Ignore the seens valuation though (the 42k), its really misleading ( based on contract length and wage iirc). He might be valued at that, but if hes a proper wonderkid, you know he's actually going to cost far more.
Yeah, I accept that, of course. Just seems bonkers when he's not an established player. How much did Neymar cost?
IRL or IG?
I think the problem here is that no club in real life would pay tens of millions up front for an undeveloped 15-year-old, and I doubt any club would ask for millions straight up either.
Sure, the interested party will put some money on the table and then offer various progression incentives, which could end up in the millions, but no club is going to splash $40-odd million up front on a kid who could turn out to be the next Clayton Blackmore.
It just would not happen.
If he's not for sale, then that should be the end of the matter.
One thing that has occured to me - is it not illegal for school children to be bound by professional contracts?
