If we have a manager that tries to play ball, Joao shows his quality. But at the end of the season he has 12 months left on his deal and we risk that someone takes him on the cheap.
Also his transfer fee cost is around 2.6M a year. The 13M split over the 5 years of his contract. So his value is currently around 5.2M remaining on our books with 2 years to go.
A 2 year extension gives 4 years remaining on the deal. So the amortization would drop to 5.2M / 4 = 1.3M a year. We’d save ourselves 1.3M for the next 2 years, spreading it out over a longer period.
And what’s the downside, extended wage commitments? Not much compared to Arter and co. It’s good risk / reward. But we do need to actually try to play football with him.
