They're legally unable to leave until they turn 18 and they always want Madrid or Barca. Chelsea hosted his family and negotiated, but Madrid are Madrid.

A lot of the fee is dependent on performance, so if he flops it will half the pain.

I would guess there is a little bit more to it as well, little bit of a sweetener for future dealings.

Chelsea (who else) were willing to pay more for him

Probably less mad than all those idiots queuing up to buy a YouTube energy drink.

Worked out well for them previously with Vini Jr so I reckon they know what they’re doing.

Madness......odegaard was the last one I remember (17 signed for Madrid I think) and hes JUST started to come good at the age of 25..

You are so painfully clueless.
Odegaard cost about £3m Oh, and turned 24 just 2 weeks ago.
They have signed numerous youngsters since then, including the likes of Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo.

we were never in the running.

this is another odengaard or vinictus Jr or Rodriguez.

they are gambling to get the next Newmarket before anyone else.

He is a gamble because of his age but what he has done so far has been unreal. He is tiny yet bullies defenders it’s hard to understand. His skill and technique are also a bit special. Fast and an eye for goal if he stays fit he should flourish at Madrid

Lol a lot of guess work on Ja.

I was disappointed on missing out on Vinicius but not this guy. A good technical player who could replace Benzema in the long term but let's wait and see.

So you were well clued up on Vini Jr before he'd played a single professional game? Mmmokay.

He should join atletico, then they could have endrick lemar
