They spent a lot of money on him. They’re probably not ready to cut their losses quite yet - if he can find 1 good season on loan his value for sale will recover a bit. And if he can find 2 good seasons there’s the possibility of him becoming a squad member for depth or being sold for close to no loss.
he’s still young, not like he can’t reinvent himself.
I believe we wanted him last year but even Real Madrid did not want him to sign permanently and wanted a loan with no buy option, which we refused.
