sitemaster In what could be regarded as the shrewdest deal of the century, Liverpool has succeeded in agreeing terms with Wolves for the purchase of Portuguese forward, Diogo Jota in a deal worth £41m.
The magic is in the structure of payment
"Jota, who was left out of Wolves' first two matches of the season, is set to sign a five-year contract on Saturday. It is understood Wolves have agreed to flexible payment terms which will see Liverpool pay as little as 10 per cent of the initial £41m fee over the next 12 months" the source was quoted
This implies that just about £4m will be paid in the next 12 months for a player that had 9 goals in 14 Europa league appearances This shrewd negotiation shows the class in Liverpool recruitment team, especially as it is coming just hours after a Spanish midfield colosus, Thiago Alcantara, had signed in from Bayern Munich in not just a bargain price but in another flexible and staggered payment regime Jota is the third signing by Liverpool in the current transfer window.
His arrival saw young defender Ki Jana Hoever moves the opposite direction in a deal worth £13m
