Credit: Imago“If you go in the back of Barcelona’s accounts, you’ll see that numerous transfers have been financed in that way, in that the club that’s receiving the money has gone to a financial provider, have received the money upfront, and for that they effectively take a discount to the amount that comes through.” How Man United could negotiate Rashford dealBorson revealed the conversations Man United could have around receiving the Rashford money upfront.

“It’s very common in the game, and it makes little difference, except for one little fact, which is that they effectively would have to pay let’s say 10 per cent off to a finance provider and therefore they receive net 10 per cent less, so they might get it quicker, but they pay a fee for it and that might or might not work for them,” said Borson. Therefore, you’ll have to pay another let’s say £1.5m and then everybody’s happy’.
