No, that’s not the case.

If he has a great season for Atletico and they want to sign him, they can sign him for 18m and be done with that. Even if other clubs are now offering us 30m.

If he has a bad season they could reject the option. Or they could offer a price less than 18m and see what we do. An option is basically just a maximum price if they want him next year.

Edu's days are numbered, think he's gonna go the way of Raul and Sven sooner rather than later.

Not a fan of Torreira at all, but weren‘t we about to sell him to some Italian bums just a week ago? How did we go from getting guaranteed 15+m to a crappy loan deal that they will 100% not take?

When do we start to question Edu? Or can‘t we because he‘s an invincible?

How would you call a deal I am talking about, genuinely asking, as I've seen more then few like that

If Atletico want him (for cover I assume) and we are looking for a sale, why not just do a straight loan if not able to negotiate the sale/obligation we were after? Why the need to include such a low-ball option to go along with it? What do we gain from that?

It seems if reports hold true, then we really are being bent over in desperation and getting the worst end of both sticks.

Just look at how Madrid handled the Ceballos deal. They were not prepared to cave in, and refused the option altogether.

Absolutely shocking deal. Even a straight loan with no option would have been better.

Fair play to whoever is in charge of Atletico transfers, he's absolutely played us to the max

Just ‘a loan’.
with a price in it? makes no sense
I think it is a loan with an option and then there are different types of them

one being option to activate 18 mil for Atletico, other being set price where Arsenal still needs to accept it, usually until set date early in summer

I would've sanctioned a loan without the buy with that kind of fee attached. Despicable.

The inevitable cherry on top will be when it gets revealed we'll be subsidizing part of his wages. It's bound to happen.

Club is a disgrace. In comparison Man U managed to loan ****ing Pereira with a bigger loan fee and a 27mil buy option and everyone thinks Woodward and Smeagol are clowns. What does that make our bums?

Liverpool just sold a kid for £23M but we can’t get a decent fee for an international midfielder? What a ****ing joke. Never mind loaning him to a club that won’t do us any favours for their player.
With a 15% sell-on clause. AND a buy-back clause.

Liverpool probably would have sold Torreira for 25-30 million. That's how much better their transfer dealings are than ours.

Liverpool are EPL champions and arguably the best team in Europe right now. Torreira is a castaway on an 8th place team that happened to win a cup. And he's not home grown, or particularly young. You can hope to make wine out of donkey piss, but normally it doesn't work so well.

Poor excuse Liverpool have been getting top dollar for their fringe players even before they we're Champions, we are just sh!t at negotiations and have been for damn near a decade, and Torreira is young what are you on about ?, Edu is that you ?.
