BFW Analysis

The first three terms are still understandable (not out of the ordinary), but the last one that says that Bayern will pay €47 million within the first two weeks of July is a bit confusing. It’s a weird clause indeed and it’s unclear as to whom it applies to; if you don’t want to think too much about it, I’d say that Bayern have offered €47 million to Napoli (which is undercutting it too much). Still, Kim and Pau Torres from Villarreal will definitely offset the potential departures of Lucas Hernandez and Benjamin Pavard who are both linked to Paris Saint-Germain.
